Visiting Hiroshima under the Hatsukaichi Peace Programme 2008 held by the Hatsukaichi International Association is like making peace with the ghost of World War II. The way I look at life, either my life or human life will never be same.
This programme was organised by the volunteers, most of them are housewife or woman of the house who's their main ideas is to let the world know about the Atomic bomb effect during the WWII on Hiroshima (then, it shall never be a single nuclear weapon in this world) and the word 'war' shall never be whispered ever again.
Me, personally I think and feel that God has been so kind to me, guiding me through this life. The homestay family's mother, or shall I say 'sister' as she looks so young and vibrant at early 50's, was able to cool me down (as I was so in to lab work and research and rat....). We both had a good time together talking about world, politics, life and ourselves. She's so understanding. Ah! one thing I need to say is that my Japanese language is so poor and God is so gracious that He sent me to this lady who is an English teacher. I end up being more cautious with my grammar.
I will tell more about Hiroshima in my next post.
