Yes, we didn't realize we were not in Hiroshima until asking at Information how we should get to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. No wonder she gave us a confused look. We got on the wrong train; about an hour south of Hakata, 2.5 hours south east of Hiroshima. The most southern west point of Japan before taking ferries to the islands.... Not where we wanted to be.

As for entertainment at the party, there is a clear generational divide. And ...
