Answer

  2. I told myself that there’s no way I would be interested in anything like that.
  3. I’ve been to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which commemorates the people who died as a result of the first nuclear bomb.
  4. Last year I went to Pompeii, the ancient ruins of a city which was completely destroyed by a volcano in the first century.
  5. I didn’t take a smiling photo of myself in front of it, like the people on the website ‘Selfies at serious places’, but still, looking at it now, I am wondering why I took it.
  6. It’s as if they’ve almost forgotten they have a lot to offer. 
  7. They might be struggling, but other people are willing to take the risk and travel halfway around the world to visit.
