Shinkansen

The Shinkansen to Hiroshima was fast. I got there in just about an hour. It left me a lot of time to hang by the river on a park bench and later in the middle of a very enjoyable crowd full of laughter under the cherry blossoms. It's their Saturday and one of the most important days. Sakura! This is a city full of lively people, they have a new stadium and their foot ball team plays tomorrow afternoon.

The hostel has a locals bar under it and it is full of boisterous families. Great place to hang out and observe their lives.

Three younger women sit down at my table I overhear a French accent and it turns out the third one is Dutch so we have a great conversation going in three languages of course. That's the hostile life at its finest. I'm definitely in tourist land now.もっと詳しく
