75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki

Nagasaki is such a nice city. My first Japanese teacher was from Nagasaki and her parents were blast victims. But honestly Nagasaki is probably one of my favorite Japanese cities if not favorite cities period. It’s out of the way for most tourists visiting Japan but simply lovely. People are really kind too.
