Leaving Tokyo

I left Tokyo today. It was hard to leave, because Tokyo was, for me, the perfect city. It’s fun, it’s clean (spotless in places) and the subways managed excellently, and even still the people in Tokyo are generally very sweet. Don’t even try to say that about New York City. Anyhow, it's hard to leave.

I’m headed to Hiroshima, on the bullet train. I will only be in Hiroshima for one night, and most of the day tomorrow to see the Peace Park, the A-Bomb Dome, the A-Bomb Museum, and Miyajima Gates. I’m staying at J-Hoppers from a recommendation from Claire and Jackie. Once I get some photos I’ll be posting those, too.

After Hiroshima, I will again board the bullet train for Beppu City, for 2 wonderful days of the hot springs. On Monday morning (very early) I will again board a train for Fukuoka, to take the ferry to Busan, South Korea, and immediately jump on a train bound for Seoul. After a day’s rest in Seoul, I finally board a plane to San Francisco, and then to Denver. I’m ready to come back home!
