Short news - am in Hiroshima, and it's a lovely city! But I'm typing on a black keyboard on the hostel computer, in the dark, and the space bar and backspace buttons are very tiny, and I can;t find half the keys anyway, so this is going to be a very short and staccato update.
I really felt like non-Japanese food today, and as luck would have it, I stumbled upon a tapas place with an English menu and English-speaking staff - and, importantly, Sangria! Then I talked to some Americans, and the hostel is full of white folks too, so it's refreshing to talk to people by this point! I got here about 3pm from Osaka, where it was bucketing down, but it was bright sunshine here so I went to look at another beautiful garden. Tomorrow I'm going to do the museums. Hiroshima is very shiny and leafy, I like it. It feels like a very homely, normal city.
I can't believe I've been here ten days! o.o I feel like I've done nothing! Oh well, plenty of time left!
Oh, and Meiji chocolate is surprisingly delicious! :9
