Finding peace in Hiroshima

Still continuing on the Japan trip theme, in chrono order of course, we went on some amazing day trips from Osaka.

The first was to Hiroshima. We got atrociously lost in Hiroshima but we eventually found the Peace Park, the Memorial Museum and the Atomic Dome. This is something that you have to see for yourself in Japan. I think as a traveller its easy to get lost in your itinerary and forget about why we travel in the first place. To push ourselves out of our comfort zones.
To learn about history. To understand how events like the bombing of Hiroshima changed the world.

This week was of course a historic week with President-elect Obama taking centre stage. Change is something that everyone wants to believe in. Peace is another.
