It has been almost 63 years since the Americans have dropped Little-boy on Hiroshima, and there is hardly a trace except for the monuments and the A-bomb Dome (which is a building that survived the blast):
In the area, you can also spot some peace posters made of small paper cranes:
The museum has a small model of the city before and after the bomb:
So, this is Hiroshima at 8 Aug 1945 (notice the small building with the dome on the right)
and here is how it looked a few seconds later...
We stayed in Hiroshima at a very nice place called "World Friendship Center", which is (currently) run by two lovely Americans (Kent and Sarah). The center is sponsored by a Japanese non-profit organization that sends every two years two different volunteers to Japan. They run the guest-house and do various works that are related to educating the youngsters not to drop A-bombs anymore.

Other than the depressing stuff, we walked around and visited a nice castle:
This is how it looks from the inside (- Abbuy, notice the stairs):
Shay did his best at spelling his favorite Japanese word:
(I did it!)
And Maayan was busy eating the local delicacy, a dish which is composed of fried noodles,
egg, several unidentified sauces, some green topping, and... oh well, judge yourself and let us know if Maayan seem to like it or not :)
Oh yes. We have uploaded too many movies to the blog, so our space is running out.
This is why from now on (maybe?) we will store the movies on another server.
