I spent the last 3 days tooling around in Hiroshima. I absolutely loved the town. It is so pretty and alive. you'd probably think the opposite based on the tragic events that happened there but this is not the case. I spent the days going to museums, local islands, riding a bike around, and eating local foods.
Hiroshima is known for their okonomiyaki, a Japanese savoury "pancake" containing a variety of ingredients.
this is a watch at the Peace Museum. It's stopped at the exact time the bomb exploded. The museum is a beautiful and important place to walk around, but it's extremely depressing at the same time.
The peace park just ouside the museum has tons of monuments and things of remembrance for the victims and tragic acts that happened there in 1945
