Last Day in Hiroshima

As predicted, I stopped blogging and taking pictures and posting to any SNS. Too much work.

Fukuoka was nice.
On the last day, I was headed for the train when some people stopped me for an interview. Not really a crazy occurrence. They caught me mid bit of some curry pan. They asked basic questions and offered to take me out for a meal for their TV show.

Being reluctant to doing pretty much anything always, I try to follow a piece of advice, it origin forgotten.

Always say yes.

So, I hoped into the van with the 2 male hosts, who barely speak English, a female translator, she was nice, a camera dude, a mic guy, and others.

There was much talk of food.

They took to a tonkatsu place and told me i was going to do a food challenge.

It was huge. It was 11am. I already ate stuff. And I only had thirty minutes.

They said it weighed 3kg. I barely ate 2.5 the other night, so I was doubtful.

I ate about half. They dropped me at the station. It was interesting. Hopefully they send the DVD.

Went to rabbit Island, Okunoshima, near Hiroshima. It was great.

Went to Miyajima too. Was beautiful, but hot.

The last day here, I stayed at a net cafe for 12 hours and watched anime. It was great.

Summer 2017 Day 1

Welcome to my stream of consciousness...

11:00
Going to try blogging my two week trip, which means this will last about 2 days...

Off to Fukuoka, via Skymark.
First time at Haneda Airport. Seems small and cozy, not busy, at least in the domestic terminal.
Security was easy, keep shoes, belt, hat on. Seems you could bring water across to, of you take it out. Early of course, thanks to my paranoia. Also feel i shouldn't have checked my bag. Again, paranoia.
Looks like this airline doesn't use jetways. That's a first.

Ate a matcha and white choco bagel. Some diet.

11:30 edit
Actually had to take a bus to the plane.
One walkway, 3 seats on each side. Actually has plenty of legroom. Fingers crossed for cute girl or empty seat next to me.

11:35 edit
Cute girl in the window seat, middle seat is empty. That's a win-win.

11:40 edit
Boarding again. Of course the whole plane couldn't fit on one bus. Baka. But looks like i passed round 2.

1:22 edit
14:00 means 2pm right? Landing soon, so... early? That's good, might be early to hotel though. Maybe time for a real meal (the plane KitKat didn't do much for my hunger).

1:39 edit
Landed, kinda bumpy.
It's actually fun driving around the airport, GTAV vibes.

1:42 edit
I take it back. Why is there traffic inside an airport?

10pm edit
Crashed hard after got to hotel. Then out to Canal City for some ramen. Stopped at Taito arcade. Walking dead was fun, Initial D is awesome, but expensive. Pay even when you win, wtf. Judo kids everywhere btw.
Won a Remu keychain at the UFO machine. Couldn't get towel, I have a feeling I'll be back.
