.近道はきらひな人や枯野原
chikamichi wa kiraina hito ya kareno hara

he hates taking
the shortcut...
withered fields

не люблю
срезать углы...
иссохшие поля

Japan's GDP - $5Trn, population - 127 million.

The quake and tsunami-relate losses are estimated at $50B (1%GDP), population - 10K (<0.01%).

It'll probably take the Japanese less than a year to recover from the disaster. Though, the dead will remain dead.


p.s. we all are going to die anyway.
