Hello!,
There is an individual I'd like to send to based in Kyoto, but I don't want my request to be considered insensitive in light of the recent dreadful disaster. If you were me, would you send the request or wait a few months?
Thanks for the input : )

Kyoto is a long way from the earthquake and tsunami region, so is probably functioning fairly close to normal. My wife teaches Japanese students (around Tokyo mainly, which is a lot closer to the area affected) online and their lives appear to be running fairly normally, thank goodness.

I would be inclined to send, but be more than usually thoughtful about the wording of the letter.

There's someone I wish to send to in Japan and I have made the decision to wait. They have bigger things to be thinking of right now. But that's just my personal opinion.
