Will it cease for the unforeseeable future?
Will the NETs come here to teach? (Please don't.)
What do you think will happen? |

| I'm sure it has shaken things up a bit. There will probably be a flood of foreign teachers. |

Ouch.
Seeing as a lot of the damage was in smaller-mid sized towns, I don't think it's going to have a big effect. It's certainly not the end of the ESL or any other industry in Japan. |

| It's too early to tell. The direct impact of the quake will hardly affect the ESL industry in Japan or elsewhere, but the effect on Japan's economy probably will. It's a wait and see game. |

I don't think so... long-termers with roots in their communities will probably return as soon as possible, and the short-termers are probably permanently put off the idea of living abroad, and were probably planning on going home anyway... so they'll just go home early.
It's not like the whole country has fallen into the sea... and unless there's a full-blown meltdown (which seems unlikely), the damage isn't irreperable.
I don't think most ESLers in Japan necessarily see Korea as a back-up plan, or ESL as their long-term career choice. |

Hear hear. I was just trying to make a joke about thousands of people dying without saying anything insightful. |

Ok, I was a little confused while reading the first paragraph, but the last one you totally lost me. Why is S. Korea going to get nuked? |

Землетрясение в Японии
Earthquake in Japan, apparently.
Why did you need to write THAT in Russian? Couldn't you have at least supplied a translation for those of us who don't know Russian, it would have been much more polite and made your post a lot easier to read and understand.
Kobe was a significant earthquake, and being pre-Internet it didn't get the same amount of coverage. Although this earthquake/tsunami is probably a lot more devastating I think that Japan will recover quickly, just like they did after Kobe. |

Sorry guys-was make point about how the earthquake will effect Natural Resources in Asia and the oil will have to put where else for peservation purposes.
Not necessarly physically gone; maybe just systematically "changed"? |
