Day 12: Hiroshima

I've been looking forward to coming here for a long time. Mostly for the memorial, but also for the sign of something different. Of a city that had undergone some dramatically obvious change. Instead I find the resilience of the Japanese people. The city is different than others, but it didn't feel defined or scarred by tragedy. It makes me wonder how long the world trade center site will remain a gaping hole, and a center for controversy.

Love the shelters in this city.

Also love the trolleys. Electricity for the win.

The best tsukemen I had was here. One of my most memorable meals.
