I went to the Peace Memorial Museum and heard the story. I had even read the historical sources but couldn t know the horror of war without visiting there. In Okinawa, as one of the most damaged cities, I heard the story from a person who lived in wartime. I also went into the bomb shelter.

I thought about what true peace was In junior high school we studied peace. In Hiroshima we learned about the atomic disaster, listened to the story of atomic bomb survivors. The trip got me thinking Before going to Hiroshima, all the pupils in our school made origami cranes and and made a thousand of them. Germany -- Germans were friendly, energetic (they walked a lot), clean (they even cleaned their streets), I loved the history and traditions. If I could have stayed there I would have. It was a real culture shock to move to the States. I went to the Holocaust museum and learned a lot there the language barrier was not as hindering as I thought we also visited historic spots such as Forts, Pony express stations and part of the underground railroad where slaves stayed on their trip to freedom. This had a profound effect on me. gettysburg -- don t remember much history because I was so young but I remember being there. gettysburg --historical importance Austria -- how they had supported Nazi Germany until they were then wrong they were.

Listened to the survivor stories about the bomb. Not a professional like in Hiroshima, but in Nagasaki it was ordinary people. Exotic atmosphere in Nagasaki about war in Nagasaki Okinawa: Visited the Nursing students memorial. Before Okinawa we learned through videos about the war so we learned a lot about the sorrow of war. Went into a bomb shelter. First experience with that. So dark but huge. Under the bomb shelter we listened to the history of the war. Was very shocked.

5 Studied atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Learned not only from materials and the food, but learned the actual experience by visiting the museum and listening to the story about the fear of war. At Okinawa she listened to the stories of the survivors of the war and visited the bomb shelter, peace and life and the tragedy of war. The fact that Okinawa is the most damaged city during the world war. JH learned about the atomic bomb and Japanese life and literature of the Edo period, because it was a closed country HS Experienced an exchange program with Korean HS students and learned the culture and the importance of international exchange Thought we never should fight a war by listening to the experience of people who have really lived through it. JH I visited Nagasaki and learned the fear of the atomic bomb variety of histories importance of peace HS I got complex feelings visiting the war memorial museum mixing with the local Korean people. It is not good to ignore the history but I feel uncomfortable to see directly things which I don t want to see. Visited Hiroshima in elementary school and Nagasaki and Junior High school. Both places are known for the atomic bomb. I think I learned a lot about the big influence of the war. Both JH and HS the travel was focused on peace education so I learned about the atomic bomb and land battles in Okinawa. So I think again about peace and I got a significant experience by listening to the variety of people s story. cool naval things in Annapolis where Gettysburg is how to act in a different country, how to live in a hostel, how to exchange currency Vicksburg -- all the monuments dedicated to the lives lost from around the country how the civil war was fought Hawaii - Pearl Harbor Gettysburg, the battlegrounds Holocaust museum in washington DC -- I learned about and saw the atrocities of the German Holocaus

6 I went to the border of North Korea and South Korea. Over there I was told there is a soldier who has a shot gun because this is a borderland. So I think Korea is not at peace. I am glad to be Japanese When I went shopping with the young people who study Japanese at the language school in Korea I was surprised that the Korean students can use Japanese young people s slang. SO I taught them several words. how cruel the atomic bomb is. After the half a century has passed still now there are many people who are suffering from radiation illnesses. I was shocked at the people who got serious skin burns on their faces and bodies, and I was impressed very much by the people conveyed the sorrow and cruelty of the atomic bomb to the children. at the preparation study, we studied the cruel events of war which I did not know yet, and at Okinawa I saw the bomb shelter and the memorial with my own eyes and I feel deeply that we must never make war again. I think again about the cruelty of the war by seeing the nurses memorial etc. The history of Okinawa: I learned the history of Okinawa by visiting the nurses memorial and especially I learned the fearfulness of war. It was my first time to know the cruelty of the atomic bomb when I listened to the story from the atomic bomb survivor in Nagasaki directly. There were some students who listened to the story crying I went to many places which were violated in World War II so I learned the importance of peace,

7 about culture. I was surprised that when I visited the historical museum in Singapore. I saw the display about the atomic bomb in Japan. The bus guide mentioned about a variety of stories during the whole tour. The place regarding the Okinawa battle, for example the bomb shelter and the American base At the High school trip we learned a lot about the history and present situation of Okinawa The situation of Okinawa between Japan and America I understand the fear of the atomic bomb disease I understand the people s anger towards the ABCC the wartime alliance name in Japanese I realized the fear of war when I went down into the bomb shelter which was used during the Okinawa battle. I realized the worth of the word Peace by visiting the atomic bomb memorial museum and to see the fear of the atomic bomb. We went to the foreigners cemetery and we learned about the oppression of Christianity so I found the change of the Japanese culture comparing the present because we are not so religious now. Importance of peace Fear of war About war suffering fear
