Just a cool little snippet I wanted to share:

[image loading]




2:名無しさん@涙目です。(新潟県):2011/05/11(水) 15:40:50.56ID:wKQCV79i0
Healthcare centers infuriated!

Call for cease of operations!




6:名無しさん@涙目です。(福島県):2011/05/11(水) 15:41:57.49ID:Ohni7tGR0
That's way past the level of just selling things




5:名無しさん@涙目です。(不明なsoftbank):2011/05/11(水) 15:41:10.66ID:TviNzkGE0
I'm speechless.




20:名無しさん@涙目です。(catv?):2011/05/11(水) 15:44:56.03ID:fErGEIWr0
"We're selling drinks!" By the roadside amongst the rubble in Miyagi prefecture's Minamisanriku city, one convenience store resumed operations.
Their furniture consisted of one small table. The employees consisted of a family of five and their friends.

What re-opened was "Seven Eleven Sizugawa Tennoumae Branch," which had been operating in the Sizugawa region for 15 years. The Owner, Watanabe Ryuu (48) said, "I wanted to as much as I could, no matter how small," and put up a cardboard sign saying "Open."

Two months ago, their store was wiped out entirely by the tsunami. He was lost for several days, but decided, "My family of five was all safe," and was determined to re-open.

The employees consisted of his wife and three kids. When he placed the small table in the parking lot in front of his store, he felt reinvigorated. Borrowing a small truck with refrigerating, he sets up shop from 10AM to 4PM with goods shipped from Tome city's branch.

Drinks, bread, pudding, et cetera; while there isn't a great variety, those involved with reconstruction efforts, young people whom have come to volunteer, form a line along with victims of the disaster. One volunteer, a man from Tokyo prefecture's Hino city (29) said, "We are unable to eat (the victims') supplies, so it's a huge help."

Recently, his son's friends have also come to lend a hand. His wife Chiharu-san (38) said, "Everything we put together for 15 years was washed away by the tsunami. But we hope to start putting things together again."

I hope them well

I'm glad they're open ^^

Things are still like this




16:名無しさん@涙目です。(新潟・東北):2011/05/11(水) 15:44:18.16ID:bcrPtuBmO
In a way, it's the most spacious




25:名無しさん@涙目です。(内モンゴル自治区):2011/05/11(水) 15:45:25.37ID:evZyn6yWO
They've even got the carrying totes around, how prepared




189:名無しさん@涙目です。(長屋):2011/05/11(水) 16:07:43.27ID:bL1W46Od0
It almost looks like they'd be selling Herbs, Remedies (anti-poison), Holy Water (T/N: DQ/JRPG reference)




26:名無しさん@涙目です。(岡山県):2011/05/11(水) 15:45:28.10ID:QVgnVTTa0

As a resident of Tottori I'm actually quite envious.

It's pretty depressing being able to recognize that it's where a Seven Eleven used to be just based on the bricks lying in the background

Wow, that's amazing. It doesn't look like it was hurriedly patched together.




231:名無しさん@涙目です。(長屋):2011/05/11(水) 16:18:59.58ID:4O/OedMr0
Did they really get permission from HQ?
If so, you'd imagine the Seven Eleven would lend out their specialized trucks like Lawson




274:名無しさん@涙目です。(catv?):2011/05/11(水) 16:29:37.15ID:fErGEIWr0

Yup yup. The merchandise is sold through the refrigerated truck, the cashier is just outside. The image from >>1 is just a bit misleading lol

Still, Japan's pretty amazing
I feel like if you put stuff out like this, you'd just get robbed blind in other countries
The employees don't look particularly strong too lol




359: 忍法帖【Lv=21,xxxPT】 (東京都):2011/05/11(水) 16:58:47.73ID:1aYRPWmo0
It looks almost like a wartorn region that was bombed to bits and is just starting to reconstruct




194:名無しさん@涙目です。(大阪府):2011/05/11(水) 16:09:40.55ID:OoUs3o3o0
It's amazing lol
Even under these circumstances, they wear their uniforms and have the carrying totes lying around
I'm touched

I'm still at shock/awe at what the background is like. None the less, at least their still being positive at the situation they are in.

Great read, and this show how civilized Japan is. With the store like that in other countries, the employee needs to arm with guns not to get robbed several times a day.

In fairness, there's a lot of spam and useless posts (you can see the post number all the way at the left, the guy who compiles these shifts stuff around to make it easier to read, but... you can still see the missing numbers), and I also opted not to translate bunches of the nasty stuff. But yes, for the most part 2ch has an EXTREMELY varied set of subforums and a lot of them actually have what can be perceived as a majority mature posting rate :x Others, are really no different from 4ch/Korean netizens.

Whoa, Japan was amazingly orderly during the disaster, but as a comment up there stated...whoa, it's unbelievable that it's so stable that currency is still usable. Thanks for the share~
