Hiroshima,Miyajima

sorry for not posting in awhile,just didnt have the mood. anyways the last leg of my hols is Hiroshima.

1.Hiroshima Street Train/Trams. quite a rarity in japan as most of it other cities have shut down.
2.Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Definitely worth visiting. it somewhat changes your perspective towards life. this pic is to mourn the childrens that died or survived and suffered from various diseases. the most famous case would be sayuri ,who survived the blast but later contracted luekimia. she folded 1000paper cranes in belief she would be cured.she died.
3.the cenopath,memorial towards everybody.behind it is actually the flame of peace, only to be put on when the last a-bomb is demolished.
4.the infamous a-bomb dome. the only remaining stucture that survived the blast. people say it's eerie but i find it a very sad place.5.to more cheerful places. this here is istukishima jinja at miyajima. it houses one of japan's 3 most famous scenic spots,the floating torrii gate/the gate in the sea.

6.this is as u can see, is the world's biggest rice scooper!7.miyajima aquarium. nth much here except that they let u play with the penguins. but i don't wanna play with them. i wanna be the one in this pic!

8.jellyfish,no added colouring.
9.oh,i forgot to mention,miyajima is famous for its wild deers. they walk around the island and harass tourists for food ,or even tourist maps (poor kim).this pic is titled 'wild meets ignorant human'10.the torrii gate. very nice during sunset. at the different times, the sea level is different and might even cover most of the gate.
11.disappearing land.

12.sunset gate.
this ends my summer collection of pics!
