Hiroshima

At Hiroshima.....

Maybe because of it's history and also the places that we visited, I couldn't help but feel sad for the place but at the same time gotten great strength from it seeing how a place that was so badly destroyed rebuilt itself.

Here we are listening attentively to the Prof as he explained the tombs and landmarks in detail to us.

The A-Bomb Dome or Hiroshima Peace Memorial, which is another UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Look at how serene the place is now~

Outside Shima hospital which was also destroyed by the bombing. The epicentre of the bombing was directly above the hospital. It is now known as Shima Geka Naika.

Children's Peace Monument

If you have time, check out the story of Sadako and the thousand paper cranes and you would know why this statue exists.

Children all over Japan fold paper cranes and send them here. 

Cenotaph which is an arched tomb for those who had died from the bomb.

Peace memorial museum

I highly recommend the you visit this museum! It's so cheap! Only 50yen! It's really educational! You get to see with your own eyes, how destructive wars can be, look at the innocent people who suffered, the side-effects that remains even after so many years. You will definitely feel chills down your spine!

For dinner, it was hiroshima-yaki at Okonomimura (okonomiyaki village)

Amazingly quick hands at work~

It was the first time I tried hiroshima-yaki and it was delicious!

Of course, we had to end the night with a purikura.

The technology still amazes me every single time! 

Truly an educational experience. Perhaps if I shall visit Hiroshima again, I will definitely visit the Peace Museum again as we only had 1 hour to explore the museum previously and it just wasn't enough.
