The journey of the 2nd day trip were continued to Atomic Bomb Museum. The admission fee is 200yen per adult. A short history about this :--> At 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped over the city of Nagasaki. The city suffered catastrophic damage with 73,884 people died and 74,909 people injured by a blistering blast wind, heat rays, and radiation.

Before entering the museum, we perform our obligation i.e to take pictures lah aper lagik

We were not allowed to take pictures inside the museum. Tapi memang tak teringin pon nak amik gambar dalam tu sebab ngeri la tengok gambar2 mangsa bom atom tu. Incik hubby filter dulu gambar2 sebelum aku leh tengok sebab dia tak nak aku mimpi bukan2 tengah2 malam.

Before entering the museum, we went inside the Museum of History & Folklore for free admission fee.

Some of the exhibited items that I can still remember is a wall clock, roof tiles, melted coins, melted bottles, torn outfit, and huge atomic bomb 'fatman'. For those of you who are interested to know more about the exhibited items, you can view it at this web.

Oleh kerana aku dan incik hubby bukan peminat sejarah dan juga buta seni, kami tak baca sangat apa yang di tulis. Incik hubby lagi hampeh, siap tanya2 "betul ke batu2 ngan botol2 tu sebab bom atom, ntah2 cairkan dengan api..pastu letak dlm muzium nih"...isk3x...sungguh tak reti menghargai sejarah ekekeke..

Masa kat dalam museum tu, aku gatal2 gi sentuh melted bottle sebab dia tulis "this bottle can be touched"...alih2 kena marah dengan incik hubby. Incik hubby wat2 muka siyes sambil berkata :" suko2 jah sentuh2, tok tahu ko radiation dio kekal lagi. Ayg tu ngandung, jange la suko2 jah sentuh koksir2x" Huhuhu...baru nak sentap sebab kena bebel, alih2 nampak ada pompuan jepang pakai baju preggy sama macam aku...ekekke.. tak jadi nak sentap, tarik tangan hubby jalan jauh2 dari orang tu

After going out from the museum, we snap more pictures. While we were busy with our cam-whoring activity, we were being approached by a Japanese lady. She was saying a lot of thing however I can only understand the word "kirei" and "kawaii"...ahakss...jadi perasan la pulak....Actually she adore my scarf (2-3x dia belai2 kepala aku dan pegang2 tudung aku) and she wanted to be photographed with me...hik3x...sepanjang hari incik hubby kena dengar cik wife dia sebut2 perkataan "kirei" dengan "kawaii"...ekekkeeke....lalalalala...

* kirei = cantik
** kawaii = chomeyl

After leaving the Atomic Bomb Museum, we headed to the Peace Park which used to be Urakami Branch of Nagasaki Prison. It have a giant sculpture placed in the middle of the area.

Masa ni sentap dengan incik hubby sebab incik hubby tak nak guna tripod untuk amik gambar. Aku memulakan aktiviti merajuk2, ngamuk2 hentak2 kaki tak nak amik gambar. Incik hubby hilang sabar dah, dia pon geram balik. Itu pasal la gambar muncung je ekekekke. Ye lah... faham2 lah, majuk kat tengah2 dataran tengah2 panas pulak tu kan...saper bulih sabar weh? Itu pasal la itu incik hubby sulah talak mulih tahan sabar...padan muko aku ekekekeke

(dua budak sentap tengah posing wakakakaka)

After 15 minutes of sulking drama, we were back into lovey-dovey-romantic-puppy love condition again hik hik hik.

We stopped to fill in the tank before continuing the journey by heading to Unzen and Shimabara as the last stop of our trip.

(Isi minyak dulu baru teruskan perjalanan, jimat space kan stesen minyak nih, takde tank pon..sume overhead jer)
