My strategy for waking
up at 3:30am to avoid everyone in the communal bathrooms totally worked!
However, this also means that I only got about 3 hours of sleep. Can’t win them
all. I’ll take privacy any day.
Today, some of us left
early to go to Hiroshima. We visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Museum. It
is a very deep, somber, and fairly silent few hours. I chose not to take
pictures today. It is one thing to learn about this in school, but quite
another to be at the memorial and see some of the items for yourself. I will
say that the biggest thing that got to me was anything to do with the children,
especially the clothing. I really could not look at it all. This is all I will
say about it for now.
We go to an outdoor
market mall to find something to eat. I search for some okonomiyaki, but Google
Maps keeps taking me in crazy circles and that darn arrow will just not point
in the right direction. I settle for some curry, which is delicious, but I did
have my heart set on the famous okonomiyaki.
After this, it’s a long
sleepy ride back to Tokyo. I take advantage and head to snoozeville and welcome the thought of returning to my other dorm room "home".
