On a lighter note.
Hiroshima is now a very much alive city.
One of the things that is famous in Hiroshima is
okonomiyaki, a kind of pancake meal.
Hiroshima changes up the typical okonomiyaki by
adding noodles to the mix. and it's tasty.
i didnt take any pictures but someone has a photo
click here for a walk through with pictures on how to make it

right now my pictures from Hiroshima and Miya-jima are uploading.
Hiroshima is an amazing city that's come back from massive destruction.
some parts get a bit graphic, you were warned.
The Peace Park was a very sobering place,
The Centograph for A-bomb victims.
the remains of the A-bomb dome.
The Children's Peace Monument.
A little girl name Sadako was dying from the radiation
and she had heard that if you make 1,000 paper cranes
you get a wish granted, so she made cranes, lots of them
and people all over the world sent cranes to show support.
The National Peace Memorial Hall for A-bomb victims.
Here you can read accounts of the day written by survivors.
Even though they were different, they all included the regret
and horror of leaving people behind, hearing the screams and
not being able to do anything. Even though some swore their
hatred for America, most everyone was/is against any form of
war because no one should have to endure that.
The National Peace Museum.
This museum has many videos, artifacts and things related to
August 6, 1945 at 8:15 a.m. and beyond. Information about
the heat, the force, the radiation and the destruction.
There were pictures and actual artifacts that showed how shadows
were permanently burnt onto things where people were sitting at
the time.
There was a small exhibit of sculptures of people with their skin
melting off of their body from the heat blast followed by old photos
of actual victims. It was fairly graphic.
It all just nails home how terrible it was and still is.
