We are in JAPAN NOW!

Today is our DAY 1 in JAPAN! :)

Of course, we had lots of fun!

Firstly, We went to Fukuoka City Disaster Prevention Center!

This centre was established in January 19, 1992, where students will acquire knowledge, techniques on disaster prevention!

As you know, Singapore do not experience Earthquake and Strong wind. Hence, today, J TEAM TRIED EXPERIENCING THEM! ^^

Here's are some pictures of OUR TEACHERS EXPERIENCING IT--> EARTH QUAKE!
Nothing happens!

*SHAKES*

HIDEEE!! *SHAKES HARDER*

STAYY!! :D

And TADA! Its fun!^^
Of course, we tried the strong wind experience too :)



Next Stop! ROBO SQUARE!



Yup! We saw many cool and high tech Robots! ^^

NEXT! We took a VERY long bus ride to... Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum!

This museum commemorates the explosion of the atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki at 11.02am on 9august.

We then also visited Peace park!

The park is built to commemorate the victims of the woeful event in 1945!

This statue's right hand pointing upward depicts the threat of the atomic bomb, the left hand stretching horizontally symbolizes eternal world peace, and the closed eyelids express the consolation for the war dead!

SO... Some questions to answer..

How does radiation from the atomic bomb affect the genes of the victims?
The radiation effects has affected the bodies of their parents. Therefore, the following generations have no choice but to inherit the affected genes from their parents. Thus, they were born malformed.


Do you think dropping the atomic bombs was necessary? What other alternatives could America have adopted?
No, i dont think that dropping the atomic bombs was necessary. As this will only result in killing more innocent lives. The Amercia could have solve this problem by discussing and having a peace talk with Japan instead of using bombs to out stand their presence.


IN ALL,

J Team had  fun today! Although its only the first day and had a long bus ride, we still had fun discovering new things and learned more interesting things :) We are looking forward to the next day! :)
