It was worth the try. I mean, it’s not bad. It’s just me. Whatever. Nagasaki Minami Yamate Pudding. It’s worth a try. Not bad. chocolate. I don’t know about that. I’m big on texture. The pudding, the texture wasn’t really for me. But let’s see what this is. What’s that on there? Like powdered sugar. This is chocolate flavor. I don’t think I want that. Dude, is very famous in Japan. I don’t like the texture. It’s all like gooey and I don’t know. No, bro. Give me It’s not bad. I like the strawberry one, you know. I’m I already know like just the texture of it. I I don’t I can’t get I’m not going to like that texture. It looks so thick. Is that the bean paste on the inside? And we got this like a little flour thing, but it’s I guess bean paste, too. Bean. Was that chocolate thing good? It was okay. It’s like the little flower. It’s looking like sakura flower. More stiff. The sakura the cherry blossom. It’s looking like Huh. Yeah. Let’s see. Sweet. No. What you want to eat? What? It’s like It just tastes like beans. Like she said it was bean paste, but I don’t I don’t get why anybody would want to just eat this. Like it’s just like design is nice, you know? It’s got the texture of baked beans. Like if you put a mouth a big mouthful of baked beans and chew on it and then it’s just like the beans in your mouth. Like that’s the texture of it. And it’s not sweet. The pinky thing is nice. It doesn’t really have any flavor. It just tastes like flavorless beans in your mouth. I don’t know why anybody would I guess it’s good for just like a little decoration thing. Oh. Yeah. It’s not nasty, but it’s just not good. All right. Where are we going next? We got to figure out where we going to go next. All right. So, we at the Nagasaki Peace Park now. Lexi got her umbrella to keep the sun off of her. We’re going to go up the escalator. See what’s up here. This is the fountain of peace. So the fountain of peace sprays up his water in the shape of a pair of wings and it symbolizes the dove of peace. So throughout the peace park there’s a lot of statues donated to from different countries from all around the world. This statue was donated by Germany Monument of People’s Friendship 1981. This statue of a mother and her baby was donated in 1980 by Czech Slovak socialist republic. Tree of life gift of peace in recognition of atomic survivors worldwide. Brazil dedicated this statue which is called the monument of peace to the Nagasaki Peace Park in the year 1988. Bulgaria contributed this sculpture known as a call to the Nagasaki Peace Park in the year 1980. It symbolizes the struggle of youth in search of peace and harmony. This statue is called the maiden of peace. It was dedicated by the People’s Republic of China in the year 1985. This is the Nagasaki Peace Bill. It was built in 1977. It was built to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the atomic bombing. The construction was funded by donations from approximately 21,000 survivors and relatives of victims. So, this is the Nagasaki Peace Statue. The peace park was built in 1955, 10 years after the atomic bomb was dropped in Nagasaki. This peace statue has different meanings within. So the hand pointed up to the sky symbolizes the dangers of nuclear weapons. The hand out to the side symbolizes eternal peace. The eyes on the statue are closed. And this is a symbol symbolic of prayer for the people who were killed in the atomic blast. See the eyes on the statue are closed. The statue’s folded leg symbolizes quiet meditation and the other leg which is planted firmly on the ground symbolizes is action for world peace. Like the statue is poised for action to make world peace. Peace Park was built very close to the hypo center of the atomic bomb which is where the bomb actually dropped at. It’s very nearby here. We’re going to walk over there. Take a look at that. Also, this place is very it’s very peaceful feeling here. It’s a reminder of like the horrors of war and how people need to come together and stop fighting over so many things that don’t really matter. You know, be able to accept other people for who they are and what their beliefs are. These are the remains of or Kami branch prison that was the closest structure located to the hypo center. The explosion happened on April 9th, 1945 at 11:02 a.m. This statue was dedicated by Poland in the year 1986 and it’s titled the flower of life and peace or the flower of love and peace. This monument is called the old bird of mine. says that it was donated by the Republic of Bangladesh in order to show the importance of peace and harmony among all countries and humanity. May of 2024. This statue was donated by Italy in 1987. This mon monument is to commemorate the Chinese victims of the atomic bomb. Uh during the war around 40,000 Chinese were forcibly brought to Japan to work in the mining industry, docks, and in public works projects. If you would like to read more about this monument, you can take you can pause it right here. There a lot of water bottles here. I’m assuming that symbolizes giving these people water because they they said that a lot of people died begging for water after the bomb went off. These are actual air ra shelters. People would go in here when bombing runs came through to be safe from the bombs. damage caused by the atomic bomb. It said that the estimated population was 240,73,884 dead, 74,99 injured, and 120,820 people left homeless. This is the actual hypo center of the atomic bomb explosion. So this is where the bomb hit. It’s a very eerie feelings to know that an atomic bomb actually exploded right here. And at one point in time, all of this was engulfed in flames and people were dying here and all the radiation. August 9th, 1945, 11:02 a.m. So this was ground level at the time of the atomic bombing. So the atomic bomb that was dropped here was named fat man. It was bo dropped from B29 bomber named Boxcar and detonated about 500 meters above this location. There large amounts of roof tiles and bricks from old houses buried in the ground around here. You can see this is some of it that’s being preserved right here. It’s crazy to think that this is actually stuff that was here in 1945 that got thrown around. It’s a piece of glass there. Some roof tiles and bricks. It’s just a trip. So, we just parked. Now we at the Nagasaki Seaside Park. I’m going to walk through here. They got an area over here with some restaurants and stuff. That’s nice. We was here once before. This bridge right here, not sure what the name of it is. Maybe we can Google it and find out. So that bridge is the Meami Bridge, which translates to goddess in English. It’s nice. The cloud came in, gave us a little bit of shade. It’s been burning up all day, baking in the sun. [Music] a canal right here that runs through the city. I’m assuming you can go down there and walk alongside the canal. It’s a really nice park. Looks like at some point this was an actual major port that they were using cuz they got a lot of ballards here which are what you throw moing lines to from ships to keep them mored to the pier. Some nice big palm trees over there. Look at that. Look. Tick tockers. Tick tockers in action. got these tugboats. There’s the Nagasaki warfar. It’s a island in Nagasaki called the Dejima Island. Little L. It’s a big boat. Italian restaurant. Okay. All right, we’re about to go to Mount Inasa. Hopefully, we can catch the sunset. It’s about 15 minutes from here, but we’ll see. All right, we at the Mount Nasa now. It’s about to be sunset. We’re going to try to get up on this tram to ride up to the top. That’s the tram right there. Wow, this is nice. Yeah. Babies like this cute See you at the right. [Music] Thank you. You can come by here. Yeah. So high we up in the cloud. This is the Mount Anasa Observatory. One of the best views in Japan. Very happy. This place is really nice. Yeah, he running but he not getting away. You hear him breathing? [Music] [Music] It’s foggy out cuz we up here in the clouds. [Music] [Music] It’s nice. God, she just [Music] Super. Oh, they won’t know what to get.
