You've got to see the *real thing*

(a photo is uploaded. please check her official site)

At the end of the road, in Hiroshima, Hikaru finally made up her mind to do what's called sightseeing
(honestly, I'm almost cocooning myself)

Genbaku Dome. I visited there.

It was smaller than I imagined, and I thought it was trying its best to stand there as the symbol of such a huge thing like "wish for peace." There was a fountain next to it; beautiful green park around; river flowing - staying in such a peaceful environment kinda healed me.

It was hot though. Those people who were taking commemorative photos in front of the Dome looked dazzled.

Maybe I could sit down and rest under a tree. I wondered if there were few shaded places around here for a while after the war because the buildings got broken . . .

"Ah, excuse me"

Oh, a young woman with a digital camera talked to me. I came out here with my cap on, but did she happen to notice me?

"Can you take a picture of us, please?"

Ah, that was it.

Alright!! I, the photographer who's taken a bunch of Kuma Chang photos and refined my skill, am gonna take an erotic & cool shot of you girls! (Perhaps you picked the wrong person to ask)

So, I took commemorative photos of two close girls in front of Genbaku Dome~! By each girl's camera, as requested

Phew, I got with it. Really. It was the first time I took commemorative photos of others, and I say, you feel a lot of pressure to do it! I hope it can be a memorable photo for them.

Seems like Iran won't stop nuclear program; America carries out nuclear test again; Lebanon and Israel need time to come to a settlement; North Korea has launched missiles; there are endless lines of victims of bombs and terrorism here and there across the world - I wonder where we are going from here.

I guess the world cannot be completely in peace, but I find hope in the fact that the place where the atomic bomb was dropped once, has become a very peaceful, quiet place now.

Oh! by the way I also visited the Hiroshima Museum of Art located right across from the hotel! They had some works of my favorite Edgar Degas, which made me surprised. I also saw Modigliani's works! It was such a nice-looking museum, which made me very pleased. There's nothing like seeing the real thing with your own eyes, you know

My apologies for having taken my route in a direction opposite to every single usual route>Hiroshima Museum of Art san
(I didn't mean it (*sniff*))
