Some pictures from Christian's trip

Here are some photos of things that CNN wouldn't necessarily show you:

On top of the bridge is a Shinkansen train that has been stuck there since the earthquake.


This is a river that leads to the sea (near Sendai).  The water level rose to the top of the "hill."  There is a lot of debris on both sides.

This is another picture of why Japanese people are awesome with their garbage.  Here, families have lost a ton of stuff, and they stack their garbage so neatly.  I mean, I am unbelievably impressed.


Notice there is a thick layer of mud in the parking lot of this store.  This mud was everywhere.  Fortunately, the roads were cleaned up.


This is a Harley dealership.  The water was 1 meter high.  You can see the salt on the windows.


This dealer's bikes were ruined.  Notice the seawater in the headlight.  :(
