Every hour we change our minds – Olga’s scientific/obsessed, mine stunned – about whether to return to Tokyo May 2nd (and how many of us should go). We’re getting advice from Olga’s colleagues, scientists with kids, who left very early on in the disaster and who have now scattered to Europe and Australia. We may return on a trial basis but leave Zsófi in her Hungarian paradise with her grannie and send for them in June. If it looks like we’re able to get certifiably non-sparkly food and water for Izzy and ourselves we'll stay a year and hope for smaller earthquakes. A container ship holding 6 pianos (and much of my NYC Underwater Piano Shop) arrives Tokyo April 23rd.
