JAPANESE ALIENS AND FOREIGN JAPANESE Liz Weston, England during her travels to the island of Yakushima, which is located south of Kyushu, I was driving through the archipelago to the south and along the way stopped in the cities of Hiroshima and Kagoshima. These two cities are very different from each other, but there are also a common feature - the explosions. Sunset in the Peace Park of Hiroshima, of course, is associated with a nuclear bomb that the United States dropped on the city at the end of World War II. Since then the town has proclaimed itself "The City of Peace", and as a witness to the devastating nuclear attack by actively fighting for a nuclear-free future. Most of the city in which the epicenter of the explosion, now reserved for the Memorial Peace Park, where monuments to the victims and those who currently works for the good of the world. I arrived in town late in the evening, because it left the city of Himeji ahead of time. At dusk I was walking through the park, and, frankly, it was already difficult to see anything. The city was almost completely recover from the effects of the tragedy: the banks of rivers and the city were covered with greenery, and this despite the fact that many had thought that after the bombing here nothing will grow for another year 70. Everything looks so peaceful, it's hard to imagine, like a bomb ... I just do not believe it. Eternal Flame of Hiroshima became the first city where I came to stay with one of my friends' CouchSurfing (a major tourist network, whose members provide free assistance to each other and lodging while traveling, approx. Perevi.), An American named Adam, who resided in the city and taught English in elementary school. Of course, I still can not be called a full kauchserferom - despite the fact that my parents are wonderful people and I understand - but to invite him home to strangers and allow them to live a little bit it would be obvious brute! In general, I wrote about all this in your profile on the site kauchserferov and when people asked me to shelter, always reminding us. Adam had to take me up the next morning. I did not want to put him in an awkward position and report that I arrived a day earlier than scheduled, so one day I rented a room in a hotel network "Case-House" and to pass the evening, went for a walk before bedtime. Memorial Park The next morning I visited the "Peace Museum", where he immediately realized how wrong was my reasoning last night. I will not tell anything about the museum, except that it is perfectly arranged, but I was really uncomfortable when I exited. I ate pizza in a cafe on the waterfront and spent the second part of the day, just walking around the city, passing along the river to the restored castle. Soon it's time to meet with Adam. That's when I heard thunder. Throughout the afternoon the sun was shining and it was stuffy. It was strange to observe how the bright sun began to sink into scraps of black clouds. The lighting was unreal, but I really liked it! Initially, when the thunder, I was very happy, I like thunderstorms. But then, when the thunder began to move and grow, I suddenly realized that I was far from the city center, in addition, to me were the only shorts and sandals. Then came the real storm, and heavy rain. In my mind suddenly flashed the thought: "Hmmm ... So, sir, it seems, here and lightning can strike." Fun. When I got to the station where we agreed to meet with Adam, I've managed to get soaked to the skin. Read more:
