Hiroshima Peace Park
Before
After the Nuclear Bomb
Is it true that what goes around comes around?
What I found a bit interesting about the museum was learning that the regiment from Hiroshima was also the regiment who attacked parts of China and participated in the "Rape of Nanking".
Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Casualties = 140,000 estimated deaths
Rape of Nanking (Nanking Massacre)= 300,000 estimated deaths
The atomic bomb saved many lives and helped the Japanese make their decision to surrender, avoiding a massive "D-day" type of invasion on the Japanese mainland from the Americans, Russians and Chinese.

Bullet Train
Why doesn't the U.S. have a reliable railway system? It would be so convenient for everyone if there was a great train system. It is somewhat slower than air, but it doesn't require burning the Earth's precious fossil fuels.
Tomorrow, I take off to southern Japan via bullet train. I'm really excited. I plan on visiting Hiroshima's Peace Park and Nuclear Bomb Museum. I think it will be somewhat different from Nagasaki's Nuclear Bomb Museum. Different images, different stories. I'll post pictures when I get there.

World Porters, Yokohama
Riding the Keikyu Line to Yokohama
Nayeli wants what is inside the gaming machine.
A giant Aquarium inside a Picture Frame? Cool!
Baby sized Computer Desk :)
Nayeli loves ice cream! Don't take it away or she will cry!
Carnival Games involving Giant Sized Ramen Bowls... Only in Japan.
3,000 Yen worth of Food, from the Daiei Mall. We get tired of the selection at the grocery store on base.
Landmark Tower
Yokohama Ferris Wheel
