Hiroshima


In fact i was planning to write earlier, cos i was in Hiroshima two weeks ago..
It is a beautiful city,like all the Japanese cities ,it is very well organized,transportation is great,everything is on time,lots of green areas....Unfortunately the biggest, the nicest green area in the city center is Peace Memorial Park...Most probably all of us either learnt or heard about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.There was a tragedy for sure, i knew that too but the people who has been there told me that i really need to be strong to see the museum, they were right..The last part in Peace Museum is really like a stamina test..You see lots of things related to "that day",skin pieces,nails,bags,clothes,lunch boxes ...However they are all burnt,they are black..Because of the heat of the A-Bomb,everything within the 10 km of the center was burnt and melt..Why??In the museum you get the information that the Japanese school kids of war time were working for army, working for state in their free time, not for money,volunteer,kind of at least..When Japan attacked Pearl Harbour,the Japanese people were told to be ecstatic..Why??
The same reason...We all want more and more, some of us want more than the others and unfortunately usually they become the politicians,rulers,governors..The greed for land,money,people are the main reasons behind the wars but can you remember any state in history with lots of land,people,money survived for so long????
