Entry 9 of 10 | show all | print this entry

Those are my best stories. I have used my rail pass
extensively to make day trips. I went out to the
Himeji and saw the famous castle. I took a day trip
to Hiroshima. From there I took a nice ferry ride out
to the island of Miyajima to see the floating Torji.

Of course there is another reason that I went to
Hiroshima and that is to see the peace park. The
museum there is graphic and horrifying. It tells
everything objectively with pictures from the A-bomb,
maps, murals, and wax representations. Like all those
other nasty places I have been it is like this. I
have seen it once, I do not ever want to see it again.
Walking in the peace park is a sobering experience as
you realize that 140,000 people evaporated instantly.

I am in Tokyo now. The place is just gigantic. I
think that I like Kyoto better. I think that I will
just hang out for the next few days as I stay with
fellow poolie Brian and his wife Hiromi.
