Earthquake forces quick return to Philly
Mike Plugh, a doctoral student in Temple’s Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media program and a part-time resident of Akita Prefecture, Japan, told Salon.com and WHYY-FM the story of his experience of the earthquake and his difficult decision to leave Japan with his family. "We're really an international family. We have extended family in both places and a lot of love for each others' countries," he said. "Our children are the product of two different cultures and we want to keep those strong connections. That's how it is now, and we hope that's how it always continues."
