I have a lot to write about, and I'll catch up later, but I wanted to get this out there because I wanted everyone's opinion on this mental debate I'm having:
There's a large school trip going to Hiroshima tomorrow. I wasn't planning on going but then I heard that an A-Bomb survivor is going to be giving a talk on well, everything. So that kind of has convinced me a bit to go.
But, the Shinkansen tickets are a bit expensive, I think about 75.00$ a ticket one-way. And, I know I'm going to go there with my Parents, sister and Jeff when they come over too... But I keep thinking the talk is worth it.
Then my second debate is, if I'm spending the money and going all that way should I book a last-minute hostel and stay the night? Make it a day and a half or two days instead of only one day. The only thing with that is there isn't much to see in the way of sight-seeing in Hiroshima, given that a lot of the old buildings and whatnot were destroyed.
So, is it worth it for the day trip? And if I do go should I stay over night? Comment with feedback pleeeease?
Thanks all!!

I would say, unless hearing this survivor speak means that much to you, I would wait and go for the first time with your parents and jeff. That is just my opinion, which I hope helps. I love you, sweet girl.xoxo
ReplyDeleteI think having an opportunity to hear a first had story might be worth the visit, time and money....it is one of those events that can't be replicated. I would stay the night and see the area if you have gone that far...also, if other students are going perhaps you can get someone else to stay.
