BUNNIES. SO. MANY. BUNNIES!!! Failed miserably at meeting up with one of the guys from Nagasaki but I still ended up at the Island. First thing. It's cold. I wish I'd brought my hat and scarf. Anyway! Bunnies! And soon as you're off the ferry there's just bunnies everywhere...I had brought some lettuce and bunny food with me and gave some to the ones at the ferry point before heading round to the central part of the island which is where the hotel is. I was i...

Hiroshima! So today I spent the day going to the memorial places - the park, museum, statues, memorial, the dome. I have to say that Hiroshima is a lot more gentle than Nagasaki. They still have upsetting pictures and models, but there's a lack of substance about the place. Epically the museum. Nagasaki explains far more about what happened and also why it happened.

So breakfast was awesome. They had Beppu's speciality dishes which was mainly chicken. They had some ...

So I haven't blogged again in a while. Sorry about that! Fukuoka! I used Fukuoka as a stop over point. For some reason it was cheaper than flying to Nagasaki. The hostel I stayed in was very quiet. People didn't really talk to each other. The rooms had beds of 10, and they were like pods. You had you're own curtain and such which I found that although it's nice to have your own space, it stops people from interacting very much. I didn't really have any plans f...
