Hiroshima

Hiroshima was fun! first we went to peace memorial park and the peace monument. they were super pretty! after that we went to the war museum. half way through i started to understand why they didin`t bring the smallest child in. it was so horrible. at one point i just started feeling sick and there were many other people like that too. some even cried. it was really bad. whatthey teach you at school cant compare to what it was and still is. the affects of all of that still carries out to this day. :( it was very horrifying to walk through.

 Hiroshima city is really pretty! its filled with many tall buldings and so many people. i even saw a maid there! she was super cute! in the center of hiroshima lays genbaku dome. it is the only old building left. the a-bomb exploded 6 ft above it. its not a pretty sight. but they decided to persirve it as a monument and reminder of the damage caused by the bombing. after all of that we went yet to another historical sight. the hiroshima castle. of course this on is a replica of the original for the original was destroyed long long ago. hirshima castle had a very unique defense mechanism. they had of course holes to shoot from but also holes on floors to drop rocks at enemies climbing the walls and also they would use the sorruondin water as a defense in a unique way. i can`t put in to words cause it was all shown in pictures and np pictures were allowed to be taken. in the hiroshima castle area also lays the remains of the original hiroshima castle, the remains on a military base destroyed in the war and a tree that didint turn to ashes during the bombing. grusome looking tree. its white and black.
