Hiroshima & Nagasaki Japan.
Well, I got rid of that person looking over my shoulder at least for today. LOL But I do want to tell you about both Hiroshima and Nagasaki because if you ever do come to Japan, they should be a "Must See' place.
Hiroshima, along with Nagasaki were the only two places in the world that have been hit by a nuclear bomb and both cities are now dedicated to eliminating nuclear weapons from all arsenals. It's as it should be, they lost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and I really don't feel that the US knew then the environmental damage that the bomb cause or that leukemia would continue to kill folks for years to come.
I have been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Peace Parks are beautiful, the museums are interesting but heart wrenching and the paper doves the children make every day by the thousands that decorate the area are inspiring.
Both are coastal cities and why they were chosen as places to bomb is strange because both towns had large Anglo populations and there was a prisoner of war camp in Hiroshima so we lost a lot of our own with that one bomb. The bomb that fell on Nagasaki actually fell in a Ukrainian prison that was in the heart of a Ukrainian area and we were not at war with Ukrainians then.
But there is a lot more to see and do in both towns. Nagasaki is especially beautiful as it sits on hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Hiroshima has a small but beautiful Japanese castle and gardens that are so beautiful they take your breath away. One garden is next to an art museum which is a must see as has some very famous painting and sculptures.
