My flught departed from vancouver international Airport at 11:50 AM on monday morning, bound for incheon international (Seoul, Korea). It was a 12 hour flight, and the only thing of note that happened was a medical emergency. They announced over the com that they needed a Doctor to report to one of the staff on the airplane, and it just so happened that there was a doctor sitting behind me! I didn’t find out what happened, but it mustn’t have been too serious.
I slept for a few hours to try and adapt to japan-time, and then watched movies/TV until I got to Korea! Incheon international is an amazing airport, very well organized and clean ( and even had its own tram system). I bought a nice belt (rhodes) and was given candy by a little (5 years or so) korean girl! ( She spoke pretty good english as well). Everyone was very nice and I had no problems finding my way around the airports.
When I got to japan(Hiroshima), it was a quick process to get though customs and grab my backpack. Aidan met me in the Arrivals area and we took a bus to our Hostel right near Peace Park. I had a shower and passed out for 11 hours.
This morning we got up and went to a local food joint and I had Rice, pickled salad, miso soup, and some salmon for breakfast (normal breakfast here apparently), and it was all delicious!!
We walked to a post office so I could get some cash (Yen!!!) And then walked along the. Culture Pavilion towards peace park (along a river).
We just finished our tour through the museum and learning all about the atomic bomb and the destruction brought about by it. (Very sad
).
We will continue to explore peace park ( even though its raining).
Japan is an amazing place so far!
