Well, that sucked…

Friends and relatives, finally something not awesome happened. No, it wasn’t losing my athlete’s foot cream or my favorite hanky (that’s it so far for the lost things).

My phone had a breakdown and all my pics since april got deleted. Booooooo!

It only ruined my day for a little bit. 

Today was a travel day, so only got to walk about for a few hours. I went to this splendid garden, but we’ll have to imagine it. (Edit: i stole some pics off the intetnet)

Heres today’s pictures, what there are…

I have two tickets to Hiroshima bc at first I bought the cheapest option. After a bit I realized that was dumb, so I upgraded and instead of spending 6 hours, it took 1.5. I conquered my cheapness for just a while lol.
This guy was really aggressive
This shinto shrine was reaaaaly clean and well-kept
Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine
More adorable children

The carp theme is strong here. Lots of carp statues everywhere

I so desperately need to see this

A lot of the foundations here on the castle grounds, illustrating the bomb’s effects
This eucalyptus tree survived the blast
As dis this willow tree
My only remaining shot of the castle

Here’s one I stole. Its much plainer than Osaka castle, inside and out

In Chuo park on the way home
Its either a bird or a humpback whale, I can see both
This garden wasn’t fancy, but nice to see on the way home

Heres a link to the garden from earlier

The Shukkeien garden was really nice at sunset. The season here is a little later, so lots of red leaves still.

It was crowded bc of Saturday?
I obviously stole these off the internet
It looked a lot like this one today
A highlight of the garden is this old gingko that survived the blast
Here’s what it looks like these days

There’s no metro here, but a system of streetcars. they’re slow but cheap and the old ones are neat

Anyway, tomorrow I’ll try to save my picture data and see the a-bomb stuff

Goodnight !
