I tweaked the alarm to 5am so as to blog and witness the sunrise but failed~ Sometime i just wonder why war have to involved innocent civilians when it;s a matter between those leaders and the armies~ But anyway i;m deeply impressed with the spirit of KamiKaze squad~<BR/><BR/>Oh yah the atomic bomb dome is used for wat before the bombing?
