Huis Ten Bosch

by GYHK

This theme park have lots of museum and some game site. Just like Disneyland. For game, best is the Grand Odyssey,. They take your photo on site and you can see yourself inside the movie in the theatre. Everyone get their shot in it. I like the museums and crafts workshop. Say the music box museum, you can see quite a collection of 100 year old antique music boxes and how they perform the music. Huge and small one. Actually the park is not that suitable for kids as it lacks exciting game like Space Mountain in Disneyland. But if you like museum and European style environment as well as craftwork, you would like to spend one whole day there. Usually people will stay at the hotel nearby.

Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park

by MikeAtSea

A must to see in Nagasaki is the Atomic Bomb Museum. It shows the city before and after the devastating day of August 9th, 1945. At 11:02 the cities face was changed forever and creating unimaginable losses within a few minutes. In my eyes it displays with great objectivity the time before, during and after the explosion, and also explains the events that lead to the day. Photographs, artifacts, videos and dioramas all re-create the event. A clock which is frozen at the moment when the bomb exploded is one of the remarkable items. Some of the items displayed are very graphic, such as bottles that changed form, pieces of clothing and melted coins, but it is a memorial to all those who died and to ensure that these events will never be forgotten or repeated by human kind. A short walk away is also the Peace Park. A black stone pillar marks the spot where the US detonated its second atomic...
