Nagasaki, Japan

I`ve finally got my Japan Railway pass which allow me to travel for 7 days without limitations on the whole Japanese network, even on the bullet trains `Shinkansen`, the world ranking high speed trains reaching almost 300 km/h. The price of the pass has been very expensive but, as the whole transports here are hyper-expensive, still remains a good deal. Well, this means for the next week I will be extremely busy in a sort of marathon to squeeze as much as I can the pass to the main shrines of Japan... Anyway, after last days` fun I thought was a good idea to jump back to reality with a depressive trip to Nagasaki, the city targeted by Us army with the atomic bomb during the 2nd world war: 75.000 people died for the explosion that hit the city the morning of 9th August 1945, while other 75.000 were seriously injuried or died just few months later. The same people responsible for that tragedy nowadays talks about fight against terror or exporting democracy to foreign countries... Bah!
