Did the tsunami (from Japan) reach other countries?

Question

After the earthquake in Japan (11 March), tsunami warnings were issued across the Pacific Ocean, including the Philippines, Taiwan, and Russia.  But did it actually reach these countries?  Have there been any reports?  Countries as far away as Indonesia, Australia, Chile and New Zealand were issued tsunami warnings.  To the east of the Pacific Ocean, the entire West Coast of the United States and Canada were also given tsunami warnings. However, there then seemed to be no more news, except reports of small increases in the waves like 60cm or so.   This seems strange.  Have we missed the reports or did it not happen?  If not, why?  

(Some people are arguing that there is now military technology that can cause earthquakes and that the fact that the tsunami did not reach other countries indicates that this one was artifically caused.  I'm wondering if it is correct that the tsunami did not reach the other countries.  And if so, is there is another explanation.)

i'm gazing the information via way of Youtube and that they reported fifty 3 worldwide places are on tsunami alert. i ask your self will this make Japan's GDP slip to down yet another rank. They pronounced this could effect Japan for years yet to return.. although no point out of California, basically Hawaii. with any luck it basically hits Mexico and not us. even although if it hits Mexico those men will flood(greater) into usa! NVM THEN!
