Day1-Shimabara
Huis Ten Bosch
Day 2-Nagasaki

This is Madame Butterfly over at Glover Garden



Standing Tall
This was so much fun learning History compared to learning from the texts.
And we walked through the Peace Garden. This picture on top is what's left at the Park after the Nagasaki Bombing during WW2. [Look at the right side of the picture.]

For World Peace-Peace Statue




These are actually paper cranes, folded by the Japanese students. They used these to pray for world peace. [The papers on top are actually peace wishes.]

Then we went to the Atomic Bomb Museum. No Photography, but I saw lots of artefacts left behind after the bombing, which were collected by the authority. Like blood-stained pants, blasted cookery etc. There was this charred rice still in the pot on display too. The rice was actually charred and hardened due to the radiation impact of the bomb.

Later at night, we stayed at the onsen hotel which was called "Obama Grand Hotel".
Hey, is that the Obama island that the news reported?


Day 3-Kumamoto
Went to the Kumamoto Castle and Suizenji Park.
Shopping at Kami Tori was great!

Day 4-Beppu


Mt Aso, world's largest volcano crater
My face all puffed up due to the terribly strong wind.

Later we went to visit Chinoike Jigoku, or Blood Pond Hell. I love this.


The Pond's really red and steaming hot, though the color is caused by some sort of red minerals found below the pond.


Day 5- Fukuoka

Hello Kitty Land

Took some rides. Not bad, the roller coaster was not that much kiddy, pretty exciting.



Fukuoka Dome


S.M.A.P [I don't know who, but it's a Jap Band] was having a gig there, so there were really lots of people. They were really crazy. Women of all ages, the young, the old, like in their 30s to 40s, were carrying the S.M.A.P bag-apparently some sort of goodie bag with posters etc.


Oh, I know one of the members, that is the gatsby guy aka takuya kimura.



at Hawks Town!


Day 6-Fukuoka
Shopping

Day 7-back
