Hiroshima yesterday... and..

Well i visited hiroshima yesterday, the peace park, with monuments, statues, millions of paper cranes, and the A-bomb dome, very moving.

The A-bomb dome is a building which the bomb exploded nearly directly over, such that, some of the upright walls remained after the blast.(unlike surrounding buildings which were compleatly destroyed). They have preserved these ruins and are now world heritage.

And so where did i go today? well.. Nagasaki. and vist their peace park and museum. So im a bit A-bombed out if you know what i mean.

Last nite had dinner in a bar called "New york new york" and had a Hamburger cause i was craving some western style food.. dinner cost me 2200yen.... the place i stayed at last night resembled an old hospital and cost 1700 yen. Together they made the most expensive dinner and cheapest bed yet. (cheapest dinner so far was when i made spaghetti bolognase.. 730 yen for 2 dinners.. or 365 yen each)

So what next? .. well im thinking of going to Fukouka 2 moro... Im really very tired from lugging my bag around and waking up at 6:30 each morn (thats when the sun comes up).

Lots of people say i should go to Kyoto, but then again lots of people say accomodation is all booked out there, so i dunno... maybe ill just head back to tokyo..

Only 4 days left in japan!! eek!!

Hey Glenn. What happened to the CD's you did for Tegan? Could I pick them up from your parents?

Dave, you're welcome to come around to look for Tegan's CDs but you know what his room is like and he didn't get around to tidying up before he left.
Glenn, better enjoy the rice and sushi while you can- you won't get any at your grandparents' place.
What's at Kyoto and why wouldn't there be any accommodation?
love Mum XO

yeah i burnt a few, but then i got into putting heaps of cds onto my I-pod and that sorta took priority.

Hell your welcome to go have a look in my room, they would most possibly be on the compy tower, (just on the right of the couch as you sit at the compy,) And while your there have a geez through what cds are hanging around and take what you like.. I couldnt really find that many cds to burn for her though, .. but now that i think of it there are a few ok ministry (*shudder*) cds hanging around with some commercial house (*shudder*shudder*) on em. But most of my old cds are like dark n grimey dnb, (yeah!) .. and a lot of my burnt cds are actually unplayable...
Yeah so go have a geez through my room if ya want, and while your there just do a bit of cleaning and the such.. and if you find anything really cool bring it over.. (y`know, like million dollar bills or numchucks)

Bring me back a souvenir from Glenny's room! Preferably one of those million dollar bills he's got lying around.
