Hasta La Gadget!

As you’ve seen in the foreign press, all of Japan is starving and the condition is really terrible on the ground. See this gallery of horrible Tokyo panic photos to see what I mean. Tokyo Dandy has an even crazier view from street level.

Today the reality of our dire situation hit me the hardest. Viron was out of the pâté de campagne, so I was FORCED to settle for the poulet rôti for lunch.

It’s a nightmare out there people. Get out of Tokyo NOW before you find yourselves eating at Subway. Look at this bakery! Do you see a single baguette? No! I had to wait TEN MINUTES for them to finish baking them fresh in the back.

As you can see below, there’s a serious shortage of thon crudités and mozzarella.

Until France steps it up, moves out of their wimp-cave in Osaka, and starts supplying more sandwich aid, the real human toll of the disaster in Tokyo is only going to grow larger. We might even be drinking tap water once it all goes down.

SERIOUSLY
Right now, Tokyo is doing fine. Lots of people were out and about today, and the “shortages” of food and supplies are laughable to any older person here who experienced bombing of civilians by the United States during the war. Hang in there, and remember that there are a whole lot of people worse off than you just 150 miles north. Help them out through the charity of your choice. Better yet, go there yourself, bring money and supplies, and help them rebuild. That’s our plan.

In the meantime, check out this post on the growing food shortage in Tokyo. No beer? For a couple of days?? I’ll go nuts!! Also, TokyoCooney is keeping track of the dessert front.
