How it has recovered from an atom bomb blast.
After an interesting visit to Hiroshima, I decided to go to Nagasaki, where the second atom bomb fell just three days after Hiroshima. It was an interesting train ride, changing trains to arrive at Nagasaki by the afternoon. We passed through coastal places with a view of small ports and ships anchored far away. I was surprised to see a huge youth concert that was going on with some youths singing and dancing at the entrance to the station. I watched in silence at the disciplined crowd which applauded the performers after each act. I had coffee and cake at the railway station cafe. My hotel was just across the station reached by an over-bridge. It was too late to go out and so I decided to take it easy that evening.
The next morning after coffee, I bought the day pass on the street car (tram) which enabled me to travel over the five lines (different colour coded) any number of times.
The first place to visit was the attractive harbour against the backdrop of mountains where a number of boats and a big luxury cruise vessel were anchored. It presented a lovely picture on that clear morning. Just opposite was a public garden.
