We boarded another train and went for the day to visit Hiroshima which everyone knows was the city that was destroyed by the the worlds first Atomic Bomb which ended World War 2.We started by visiting one of the only buildings which was not totally destroyed. It was kept as a reminder of what happened while a brand new modern city was built around it.We then went to the Memorial park and Museum which was quite emotional to say the least.

We got lost in massive electronic stores ( Gok Rayner, you would love it) and wandered into some suspicious Manga shops.After all this excitement what could top this but SUMO! It is alot be...
