The Museum

When I got home, my mom and I ate a Japanese dinner of tempura, while we talked about the tsunami. Tempura is a dish of fried vegetables or seafood. I can't stop thinking about what happened at the beach. Was it going to happen again? I fell asleep at 9 o'clock. In the morning, my mom suggested a museum day. There is a museum half and hour away from our hotel. I can't wait to go find out some facts! We went inside and followed a tour guide around the museum. Something that fascinated me, was when she talked about the dropping of the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They were nuclear attacks at the end of World War 11. The United States dropped the bomb, also called the "Fat Boy", against the Empire Of Japan. The bomb killed 140, 000 people in Hiroshima and 80, 000 in Nagasaki. Six days after the explosion, Japan announced its surrender. I also learned a bit about the actual bomb. It is a weapon whose power is from atomic nuclei and when it is spilt, a certain amount of mass disappears and an equal amount of energy is released. It was a very sad time in history.
