It inspired me to read 'The Rape of Nanking', which I've just finished - a fantastic read that looks at the massacre from a number of different perspectives.

That is the city which I lived in for 3 years when I was in China. I am glad you enjoyed it. Next time you will have to go to Fuzimiao, which is where Confucious temple is. Although there is a tourist market there, there is also the confucious temple. That is where all the scholars used to go and take their tests. There is a great boat ride that you can go on through the canals, much like Suzhou, and see the old buildings. You can also go to Yuhuatai park. This park is across the street from where I lived at Yulan Villa. It is a great area to go walking. If you need any local contacts for future visits just ask. I know many an expat and local that live there.<br />BeckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-90103159940922611132009-12-07T15:04:34.095+08:002009-12-07T15:04:34.095+08:00kanmuri -yeah I've heard that. What surprised ...kanmuri -yeah I've heard that. What surprised me however, was that all the info at this memorial hall was available in Japanese. A friend of mine is married to a Japanese. When they went to Nanjing together earlier this year they were told to step off taxis as soon as the driver noticed the guy was Japanese. Likewise, they weren't allowed to stay in many hotels when he presented his Japanese passport. <br /><br />In the museum, however, there was a wall of Japanese soldiers testimonies, so not everybody are denying it. <br /><br />Pingu -there's apparently been quite a few documentaries made of him too. <br /><br />ero -thank you thank you! So glad to hear u enjoy my posts. Shame if u cannot make it to China though. <br /><br />Qian -yeah, Nanjing was a lovely city! I remember someone once told me it was "a bit boring" however I didn't feel like that at all. I liked it much more than Suzhou.Jonna Wibeliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954672453008704738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-33618854738343459262009-12-07T10:33:56.146+08:002009-12-07T10:33:56.146+08:00another wonderful tour, Jonna. :-)

I saw one in Taiwan, too.<br /><br />The Nanjing massacre is still widely unknown in Japan. Even my husband, who was in the Japanese military, was brainwashed to believe that the massacre had never happened and that all the pictures taken from it are actually staged. They go to crazy lengths to pretend the past never wasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
