Manila, Hiroshima, and the Bomb

[Pete/London]

Its been a long time now but my wife`s nan used to tell me the about the atrocities of the Japanese solders, and on the way to Tarlac I visited the memorial to the Bataan death march. Sadly it wasn`t being well looked after and was overgrown with weeds.

The new generations of Filipinos seem to welcome the Japs and the business they bring, I wonder how history is taught in schools.

Thats sounds like my Wife and her younger Siblings and Cousins they all think Japan is a wonderful place to visit (which it is) and heavily influenced by Japanese Films and anime. They only seem to hear about the war from there oldest relatives rather than from anything they hear at school or university..

I guess its good there is no hatred but shame not to remember and learn from your past.
