Nagasaki is on the island of Kyushu, on the southern part of Japan. We assume everyone's familiar with this place because of the World War II atomic bombings. In case you skipped school on the day it was discussed by your teacher, Nagasaki is the second city in the world to experience a nuclear attack next to Hiroshima... on this same month of August, 66 years ago.

1. Megami Bridge
The Megami Bridge, also known as Venus Wing, is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the island of Kyushu. Built by Mitsubishi, the bridge is 880 meters long and 170 meters tall. It was completed in December 2005, and is now slowly becoming a landmark in Nagasaki. What's cool about this bridge is that it has a pathway for pedestrians, so not only cars can cross it. Of course our lazy asses didn't bother. As soon as we got off the bus, we barely walked away from it and just took photos from where we are. The best view of the bridge is from afar, anyway!
