Morning, visit to Nagasaki Chinatown. Suppose to visit on 18 Oct but we arrived late at Nagasaki.
Anyway, the shops were mostly closed when we reached. Too early. According to tour guide, mostly selling food, restaurant.
 
 
Tour guide told us they were practicing fire fighting. There were volunteers involved in fire fighting also.
