I know much about WWII due to family history, etc. I knew the Cherry Blossoms came from Japan, but I didn't know the story behind them. I get to go to DC next summer again, so the seeing those trees through different thoughts will be great.
I know a lot of talk was about Korea and China not liking Japan and wanting an apology over the atrocities done, so my question is: do the younger generations feel the same about Japan as those that lived through it? Is the idea that Japan is not nice (to put it nicely) and needs to apologize, and mean it, hinder relations between the three countries? What does Korea really think about the way Japan bounced back after losing the war, to become a world player, especially through technology?
