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!
