After the shocking moment of The Great Hanshin  19 years ago, Kobe ha s already  fully recovered from the massive damage on its city. Here we can see nothing but another great city as it used to be. Except, at a little corner of the bay there's a place that left unrepaired and remain damaged. This place reminds us a lot about how disaster could harm us and also how important it is for us to prepare before it happens :) That's all from me now! Stay tune for other updates here and facebook!
