Hiroshima - Sixty years later

Once again arriving before check-in time, I dropped off my suitcase at the hotel, and after a quick lunch headed to the centre of .... the epicentre of the A-Bomb.

Sixty years after the artificial sun that destroyed this town and its surroundings, it is hard to believe this is the same place. And yet, the lesson has not been passed on, as many leaders of many countries have yet to sign the nuclean non -proliferation and such treaties.

The visit to the Peace Dome, the only building still standing after the A-Bomb, the Memorial Cenotaph, the children's memorial, the eternal flame and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum didn't make an easy visit. Nor should they.

I walked back in silence, and somehow noticed that the buds are on the trees, and a few daffodils are blooming.
