    no, neo is not in japan.

    Japan has a very advanced infrastructure. The harbors of their major coastal cities are very well protected, and the nation as a whole, infact, is very well prepared for this type of disaster. i don't feel that the number of casualties arising from this will be very high, and afterwards japan will bounce back very quickly to repair any damage done.

    We hope. This is the largest quake to hit Japan since records began.

    You are right, however, that they know how to deal with this. This is life in Japan.
