BG you have to see things through their eyes. Most of these people left behind were in their 70's and over, so they would not get very far in the freezing weather on their own anyway. Plus after being cut off from the rest of the world by the Tsunami they have no idea how bad things really are. As far as they knew the whole island was hit and destroyed to the same level as their village. No power, no food, no water, no nothing. Where should they have gone. Put yourself in thier shoes. Everyone knows that when things are that bad that the rest of the world comes in to help.

On the second note: Tell them you want to take them to Vegas for vacation or to disney to have some fun. Tell them your wife is sick and needs her help. I know that would not be the truth(or maybe it is now), but this is to get them out of danger that they obviously do not understand how bad it is or could get. I get it though. There is an honor satus there that most people outside of Japan have never understood the depth of that integrity. We hope it all works out for the best one way or another.
