Yesterday we had even an earlier start. Our bus was leaving the hotel at 5.50 so everyone had to get up at 05.00 am. The rain poured down and there was warings about a tyfoon. Luckily most of us had got a raincoat the day before. When we arrived to Hiroshima Memorial Park there was already alot of people. The cermony started at 08.00 and lasted for an hour. There was a minute of silence in memory of the victims in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I´m glad the student got to the museum the day before because with that in mind the memorial cermony gave more inpact. After the cermony the countrygroup should do something together to get to know eachother more. My group decided to go to Miyajima Island, a place of historic interest outside the city with a famous Shrine. They asked me to come along.
Suddenly the rain stopped and the sun finally came out and we had a lovely day at the Island. Coming home was a nightmare though, due to the heavy rain earlier that day, the trainsystem didn’t work properly. We had to experience cramed trains with people continuosly trying to get on. I fell into bed early and finaly got a really good night sleep since I arrived in Japan.
