Atomic Bomb Watch

A must visit for anyone getting down to Hiroshima, foreign or Japanese,  is to the area the Atomic Bomb landed on August 6th 1945.

There’s many different areas to view different memorials and peace offerings but one exhibition was of special interest to me was the watch the now stands still, at 8:15 am, the time the Atomic Bomb devastated Hiroshima.

The watch is on display at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.

It’s no secret, i love having an iPhone, it’s probably been the single best technology purchase i’ve made … and there have been a few.

It’s the applications that make your life easier that appeal to me and catching public transport as often as i do this one does just that, the Tokyo Metro iPhone application.

At the moment you can pick it up for a special price of $0.79 instead of the usual $4.99 … in the Japanese store it’s 115 yen, cheaper than the cheapest fare on the rail network.
