After paying about £80 I got the oppertunity to visit Hiroshima with the university I'm studying at. Of course this meant I was not able to game properly for about 2 days but the trip was definately worth it.
The trip was spread over 2 days although most of that was spent travelling by bus from Nagoya. Either way, on the first day we got to see Miyajima which is where the floating gate is. This was of course a lot of fun going around and taking in the history. Although history aside there was a hell of a lot of deer just wandering around. It's really quite weird just to see deer mingling around a small town like that but they don't seem to mind the tourists.
On the second day we visited the peace museum which housed exhibits regarding the bombing of Hiroshima during the second world war. Now, I'm a history student, I've heard plenty of stories and seen many pictures of war and the like, but the information in this museum strikes on a whole differently level. I'm not going to go into a big lecture about world peace but the impact that place had was pretty profound.
I spent the best part of about 5 minutes looking for a game arcade before giving up and hitting the town so I guess I'm going to have to go back sometime to see what kind of competition Hiroshima has to offer
