Hiroshima trip ! (lots of pictures )

Hello everyone !
yesterday I came back from my schooltrip to Hiroshima.














note:
schooltrips in Japan are very different than dutch schooltrips , the students make teams and with your team you plan your trip by yourself , like EVERYTHING by yourself (exempt diner and sleeping )
even transport you plan by yourself.

day 1
I had to wake up 5 am to take the train to Tokyo station to meet my team, after that we took the shinkansen(yhea that famous train with the speed of 270 km/h) to Hiroshima
it took around 5 hours so we played card games ( i learned some new one xD)
after the shinkansen we took another train and then a ferry to miyajima island
it is famous for the itsukushi schrine which  lies in the water in high tide but in low tide you can walk around the schrine
also we went to the koyodani park which has a lot of deers and lot of beautiful nature
after that we went shopping and i bought some momiji which is a famous local snack
you can describe it like an small maple leave shaped cake filled with mashed sweet beans ,chocolate or cheese cream.
we planned to go bag to the hotel around 16.00 but we took the wrong train , but we found out in the last station so we traveled for another hour our sensei (teacher) was not very happy with it but they where happy we were safe.
also we were late for dinner so we ate in another room (private room yeey :p )
the dinner was quiet big so i couldn't  eat al haha













day 2
today i went to a submarine museum which had ofcours ALOT of boats.
their was also a huge exhibition about the war in the Pacific sea.
after that we took the bus to a navy academy were you can get a tour for  free , 
the navy academy was really big and had a beautiful view over the sea.
the tour self was really interesting , although i couldn't understand everything the parts which i did understood where fascinating ,the guide told us how live was at the academy in old times which was amezing to hear about.
as lunch I eat okonomiyaki , a famous Japanese dish it is hard to describe but it is really tasty 
it is like a pancake à la Japanese style i guess..






















































day 3
this was my last day in Hiroshima 
i went to the atomic bomb peace memorial.
I saw this memorial in my history book ,
but when i saw it in real live I release how bad the atomic bomb was .
also we went to the Hiroshima peace memorial museum
which gives you a good view how atomic bombs can have an impact on people nowadays.
I have respect for  those people who experienced the atomic bomb





this was my last day in Hiroshima I want to thank my team , classmates ,friends for this amazing experience I had lots of fun <3
