I went to Nagasaki to see my parents from September 1 to 8. I should go there on the Bon and the New Year, but recently I go there when the plane is cheaper. This time was hard, because I felt sick on my stomach late August and had a pain in my stomach, so I couldn't eat anything for a while. I felt better by taking some medicine, but I felt sick again ... so I decided to examine my stomach. I took a test by an endoscope for the first time on the day before I left for Nagasaki. I was so worried about it, but one of my co-workers recommend a good hospital near my office. I could take a test without a pain. The result is not so serious. It was not no problem, though.
I didn't feel well in the first 2 days after arriving in Nagasaki. I felt better after that, but I seem to be a bit sick mentally. This time I went to see my father in a hospital and visited my family's grave as usual. The country side is slow and easy, so I can be relaxed. My mother looks older everytime I see her. I stayed at my aunt's house, because it was closer to the hospital where my father was. There is a street car around my aunt's house from the Nagasaki station, and there is the Matsuyama station where was the center area of the atomic bomb dropped. I got off the train at the Urakami station, and I found the memorial monument of the victims by the atomic bomb. When the atomic bomb was dropping in Nagasaki, my parents were not in Nagasaki city, so they were not bombed. But my grandfather was. He is already dead, but he attended at the ceremony for the victims by the atomic bomb every year. I watched this ceremony on TV and prayed silently every summer when I visited Nagasaki in my childhood.
While I was staying in Nagasaki, the typhoon hit Kanto area including my place. There seemed to be a heavy rain and wind around my place. I was watching about it on TV news in Nagasaki. When I returned home, the weather was fine. It was so hot in Nagasaki. The summer becomes hotter every year ... scary.
