Hiroshima city 1

Now, let's go to Hiroshima, which I absolutly wanted to visit.

It is not easy to describe the feelings anyone can have in this city.

Today, it is a modern town, quite lively (just have a look at the leisure district) and charming. It is a quite small town where there is much less stress and pressure, than what you innevitably and continuously feel in Tokyo, for instance.

On the other hand, the tourist is generally in a mood of going for a pilgrimage, and tries to understand what happened there at the end of World War II. How was the nuclear bomb dropped, why...? With a certain need to remember and commemorate.

I can only say this is a place, which emotionally, is striking. That the visit of the Museum of the Bomb is definitly very interesting and moving.

So, here are a few pictures.
