1. I donated 900 dollars to that relief fund...

Seemed to do a lot of good. 私は彼らがそれを使うことができて幸せでした。

3. I watch this and other videos about the tsunami every year, get obsessed.

And read books about it. Recently, Ruth Ozeki's excellent novel "A Tale for the Time Being," which has a character who may or may not have died in the tsunami (although she shouldn't have told us that to get to the old temple where the character was you had to go up a long steep stairway on a hill, so really not much of a chance the water would reach there).

This one is poor quality, but good (I just noticed the subtitles don't show here on DU, better to go to YouTube instead):

4. That is so sweet and cathartic for the

kids to tell their tsunami stories.

I know what you mean about getting obsessed with something that interests you. Thank you for this, betsuni
