This is such an incredible report! Your account of what happened and how everyone reacted... It's really moving, actually... especially this right here:
"What strikes a foreign guest like me the most is the unutterable dignity of the situation. There is no panic, there are no mobs, there are no unmanageable crowds. People may be buying things for the worst possible situation, but nobody is taking more than exactly what they need."
That is just really beautiful to me.
I'm really glad you're alright, and thank you so much for your account of what's happening. It really feels so much more real and raw when a person who has been directly involved relays what happened, how they feel, how everyone is feeling... News never seems to get anything right...
