Day 3 in Oshima 2K16

Tuesday 04 October 2016

Today was the day that we get to have our first shopping at Hiroshima and an excursion visit to the Peace Memorial Museum. But first let's have our breakfast at the dormitory before moving off! Anyways Good Morning!

The destination from the dormitory to Hiroshima took us 1 hour and 30 minutes! Indeed a long journey and some us took the time to sleep.

The long journey has ended and finally we have reached our destination! We had to walk a few miles to reach the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

Remains after the atomic bomb

Commonly called the Atomic Bomb Dome or Genbaku Domu in Japanese. Serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6 1945. Over 70000 people were killed instantly. First atomic bomb dropped by United States Army Air Force.

It's already in the noon and all of us are famished. And it's the perfect timing to have our lunch. Separated into two groups; one wanted the udon (noodle) and other one wanted to have rice.
Let's filled our tummy with foods!

Omurice with black pepper beef

Only cost 1000 yen ( 13 SGD) and we were done with lunch. The foods were amazing hoping to order more but time is constraint and we yet to do our shopping. So let's go.

Shopping begin

After a long day in Hiroshima we have to get back to our dormitory because it was already late and we need to get back by dinner time.

Day 3 in Oshima has finally ended and I believe most of us were exhausted after a long day out. After dinner we had our shower and waited for our roll-call at 2000 (Japan time) before proceeding to the guest house for our meeting with Captain Federick.
