When I was in grade 7 I did an exchange to Japan for 2 weeks. In the years after I kept in touch with the girl who's house I stayed at and in March of 2006 she came to stay at my house for 10 days. After that I decided I wanted to go back to Japan. Tomoko thought it was a good idea to so I made the plans and went there by myself in August for 20 days. It was amazing, Japan is a beautiful country and I can't wait to go back. This blog is finally finished!!Yay I'm happy now.

Hiroshima Peace Park

From Miyajima we drove to Hiroshima. First we went to the museum, which is amazing. And its very cheap to get into, only 50 yen. I'd say this museum is a must-see. I went here last time I was in Japan and I remembered some things but it still had the same impact. After learning about the history of it in highschool, I found it a lot more interesting than I probably did when I was 12. We spent about an hour in there. Then I bought a few things from the gift shop. Then we walked around the park. It was amazing. So interesting. And really sad, its a weird feeling being somewhere like that, were so many people died. We walked around for a while before going back the the van to go back to Miyoshi. This was one of my favorite days in Japan.
