After arriving at the airport, we started off with visiting the Saga Perfecture Space & Science Museum.There's a wide variety of scientific games and puzzles, participants can gain more knowledge and have fun at the same time. One of the games which we visited had been Moon Walk, which enables participant to experience how it's like to be 'walking on the moon'. It actually uses the concept of bungee jumping. After visiting several other exhibitions, we headed for lunch. It was a buffet-style Japanese meal. We had to take a tray and select the dishes that we wanted to try. However, we were allowed to take as much as we wanted. Hence, a few of us couldn't finish our food which was a waste. But all in all,it was still a good experience.

After lunch, we headed for the Peace Park. There were many sculptures,each of them symbolizing something important,such as peace & harmony. The sculptures were built all over the world. From Rome to Germany. They were beautifully sculpted. The main attraction of the park was a blue statue of a man sitting with one finger pointing to the sky & the other hand pointing to the other direction(not down,either left of right ^^) It was very huge.The finger pointing to the sky represents the threats of it.Which mostly concerns the atomic bomb that hit Nagasaki. & his other hand representing peace.He sits like a buddha representing meditation.He is so called 'the gaurdian'. We took many beautiful pictures & the guide explains each meaning of every sculpture.

After that,we headed for the Nagasaki atomic bomb memorial museum. There were alot of pictures that shows the aftereffects of the bombing. The destruction caused was horrible. Metal pieces were melted,glass & there were many pictures of people & how they were affected by it. Some people were burnt instantly by the blast & some died from radiation.we watched videos & people's stories.

After that,we went to the hotel. It was Chisun Grand Hotel. At first, a survivor of the Nagasaki bombings told us his experiences. He told how he hid himself when the blast occured. He covered his mouth,ears and nose using his only two hands crouched under the table. Three fingers for the eyes,the thumbs for his ears and his little fingers to cover his nose holes. When the blast was over,blood dripped from his arms & his back due to the glass pieces. There were dead bodies everywhere. His aunt died from radiation from trying to find his son. He was very sorry for all the happenings & till now,he is still in shock.

After that, we had dinner.It was nice.We had tempura.woohoo.

We got back to the hotel,lethargic. All of us slept peacefully as we need to wake at 6.15 JAP TIME. I KNOW RIGHT.SHOCKING.SO TIRED! TILL NOW. :D
