I'm back at it again! Traveling, that is.
We've
left Kyoto for good (wahhhhh!)
and now I'm on the road with my dad and the students. Right now we're in
Hiroshima, which is the city where the US dropped the first A-bomb
during WW2.
Sorry for the short post, but it's sort of a hard place to describe.
Everything is rebuilt now except for the A-bomb dome, an old exhibition
hall that was the one thing left standing after the bombing. It has been
restored to its exact condition in the bombing but reinforced to stay
standing as a monument and memorial of that day. We had a lecture from
an actual survivor who was in the womb when it took place. He gave us
his blog address, and I'm sure he would be happy to know that you
checked it out too.

The above is a link to his mother's translated memoirs of that day. Please enjoy.
