Why do some places have the word 'prefecture' after them bosh?
Prefecture is the equivalent of 'County' in the UK. So, Fukushima-ken = Fukushima Prefecture, whereas Fukushima-shi = Fukushima City. Similar to Nottinghamshire and Nottingham. |

They're expecting the official dead/missing from the earthquake and tsunami to be about 30,000.  |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13289877Still a lot of work to do, but let's hope it's all positive news from now on. Looks like the official death toll for the earthquake and tsunami is going to be about 25,000. With many thousands swept out into the Pacific I wonder when the missing will be moved into the other column.

looks like local reports were exaggerated somewhat and they got away pretty lightly
