These look really nice too, the Nagasaki pics especially, but, for some reason, I know I'd have a terrible time visiting Nagasaki or Hiroshima. I just get an overwhelming feeling of grief, fear, and depression just thinking about those places. I know that probably sounds strange coming from someone who has no real connection to these places (or Japan in general). To be honest, I stil don't understand why I have such feelings. My mother used to joke whenever I'd go on about Japan as a child, that maybe I was Japanese in a past life or something, which would be ironic.

Anyway, off of that subject, I can't wait for more. Did you do any visiting in Northern Japan? Like say...Hokkaido?
