Noriko is a super fun tour guide! I had injured myself the day before, and she was great at modifying the day so that I could still get the most out of a day in Nagasaki! Visited the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Memorial. I learned how to make an origami crane! We walked across spectacle bridge, had a traditional lunch and I learned how to eat in a triangle. We hit up Starbucks (my request) , a drug store, Lawsons and City Hall where we saw some really great views. Over all a really amazing day!
