When you visit Nagasaki, it is very likely the only reason why you have ever heard of this city is because of the atomic bomb. Well, surprisingly, it is a very modern city that one would never even imagine that it has gone through an explosion of that magnitude. Nagasaki is a very important port in Japan. Back in the day, when the Shogun of Japan closed the country to any foreign visitors, Nagasaki was the only port where only a small Dutch community was allowed to remain in the country. I had a great time there, and was able to go to a food festival that was happening near the Nagasaki train station. There, food and drinks were served to the public, and performers such as J-pop singers and groups of cute little girls were entertaining the crowd while creepy old men danced staring at them. It was so much fun though, a few shots of sake and some ginger mojitos, great food, and good times.  Japanese people are obsessed with cuteness and innocence, I think that's why the animé industry is such a big part of their culture.

I find this really interesting, temples are represented by swastika crosses, and no it has nothing to do with Nazis, this came way before that.  Girl about to cross the street   Sake sake sake man |
