Been eating a lot this weekend at random places. This would have made it the best weekend ever.
Step one: Quench one's thirst
Step two: Request spiciness level
Step three: Blow mind away
Step four: Put out fire on tongue with snack
Rejoice
One last longing glance backwards at a perfect meal
Hiroshima is simple. I like that.
Underneath the museum.
Sun is setting
Such peace in this place. I want to go back.
Having trouble remembering details already, which means that I'll have to soon do a massive upload of my images before I forget what I did that day. From what I can remember, we walked around to the Hiroshima Dome, the monument directly below where the bomb detonated and eventually made our way to the museum. Add bridges to the list of my favourite things.
Bridge + Umbrella = win
Bridge + Bike = win
One can see the dome through the arch of this monument. Many people frequented this monument. The thought put into it, and the space around it was just beautiful.
There were two main reasons we were in Hiroshima. The first being the museum, and indeed it lived up to its expectations. The second was the Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. It too did not disappoint.

Rain stops. Bus stop.
Delicious.
As the rain began to fade, our hunger grew and so the search for a delicious breakfast was on. For some reason most stores and restaurants were closed so we had a tough time finding something. What we ended up with was a cafe that ended up being quite good.
Everything is closed
There is a better crop here, I am just being lazy I suppose
Finally, breakfast. This place was quite busy with men reading newspapers and quietly sipping tea.
Ok, I screwed up the date on the last post, and I had pics from two different days, so I'm setting it straight with umbrellas. It was my sincere wish that it pour when I was in Tokyo. I've forever been a fan of Japanese woodblock prints, in particular Hiroshige, bonus points if you know what print I'm talking about. Anyways, as it turns out, I only got Hiroshima, which for what I envisioned, didn't quite have the population density I wanted for a capture. Also, dreaming about umbrella pics is much more pleasant than actually taking pictures in the pouring rain. Maybe it was a good thing it didn't rain again in Tokyo.
I wish there were twice the people.
Seems like the lady sized clear plastic umbrellas were popular. Yes, I bought one.
This one was unique.
It only takes a glance to make you feel like you're being creepy.
