| | So its the weekends again. Honostly love the weekends here. Im always out with my church friends. And me being the only international student among them, ahahah we decided to go pearl harbor. When we went there they had a list of people that was killed there during the Japanese attack. we saw like 6-10 people killed with the name of Eugene. So sad. And as we looked further down. It was much worse cuz those ppl whom were killed by friendly fire, they actually had a small line below their name "killed by 'friendly fire'". Ahaha i felt kinda sad for those ppl whom have their names like that. So then we went to the place where they had the list of ppl whom actually survived. No body with the name of Eugene actually survived. Oh man... so sad. So anyway we then had to take a ferry over to the USS arizona memorial. Here are some pics.
Thats the actual Torpedoes used by the Japanese to Bomb the Battleships. This one kinda miss hit the target was able to be salvaged later.
The actual propeller used by the Japanese planes
And there she goes. The USS ARIZONA.
The tomb for hundreds of american soldiers.
There still is alot of them in that ship. So we were asked to respect them.
If you can see the small white ball by the end, Thats the ending point of the ship. And far behind is an old and decommissioned battleship. The metal thing there is actually one of the big gun turrets.
Notice the Oil floating?.... Yea its been almost 60+ years now and oil is still leaking out from the USS arizona. You can actually see quite alot if you go there and check it out.
Thats the 3rd huge gun turret which was eventually cut down and made into like that.
I think this is the smoke vent that was eventually cut too... this vent leads us all the way down to teh engine room of the USS arizona. I tried looking down, but i think they kinda blocked it with weird things. 
More of the gun turret.
 
These are actually little parts of the ship that could be seen from where we were. We were right ontop of them if you guys didnt know.
Yea so we thats pretty much about it. I saw a couple of war veterans that were from pearl harbor too. No i did not take any picture with sailors cuz i wasnt interested in taking pics with any of them. Some japs did it though. Saw a couple of destroyers too. The recent destroyers. Will wait for the carriers to come back. Then mayb ill come back again to see them... SWEEET.
Anyway thats about it... MAHALO
