    Not the only tourist here

    So yesterday I visited Hijemi castle with Etsuko and her parents. It was very crowded since it is the nice season with the cherryblossom. They haven't been blooming yet, they will soon show their pinkness. We couldn't visit the inner part of the castle because I had a train to catch to Hiroshima. After some Sushi I took another Shinkansen to this city and headed to the Memorial Mueseum. I've never been in a Museum with so many people. That was crazy. Nevertheless it left some impressions on me. Difficult to imagine that such a man made catastrophe really happened and all this hurt and pain it left behind. Very sad. And we still do not learn from it.
    After this how-it-feels-to-be-a-sardine-experience I took a walk to Hiroshima Castle and then took the Shinkansen to Osaka. In the train I met a Southafrican couple, we had a nice chat so the train ride was over quickly. I changed train in Osaka and headed back to Tokyo which feels kind of home already.
