3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Favorite thing: When you exit the Glover House, you will see interesting collection of exhibits showing the Chinese influence on Nagasaki in festivals and ship buildings.

This is not surprising due to the proximity of Nagasaki in the southern part of Kyushu which is close to China and plus that Nagasaki has been important port where exchange with Chinese and other countries have been prevalent over the centuries.

Favorite thing: Visit the Peacepark. In it a statue of a robust man that points one finger up in the sky (at ground zero, where the atomic bomb fell in 1945) and with the other flatheld hand he means to say 'never again'. In the park are some remainders of the blast and - though not as impressive as in Hiroshima - here too you will feel cold shivers about what happened once.

Fondest memory: The friendly students that showed us around. So sad we lost contact with them, but ... Jon-san, Kumi, Yoko and Junko, you are not forgotten.
