Hiroshima Menkyo Center - and Beyond
Before I say anything else, I'd like to point your attention to the following photos:
(Thanks to Cory for taking the photos)
As far as I can make out, that card says that I am licensed to operate a motorcycle with an engine of 50ccs or less. One point for me. Other than numerous early mornings, and some pretty intense Japanese bureaucracy, not too much happened in Hiroshima. I ate at McDonalds to give it a shot and had something called a "Mac Big Club." The Mac Big Club is kind of like a big mac, but you get one burger patty, and then one fried egg. Instead of special sauce, you get really spicy mustard. It was good, and it's always fun to see how McDonalds is different in different places.
Speaking of eggs on food, Japanese people seem to really like the aesthetic of an egg on top. You can get Ramen noodles with a raw egg on top, a steak with an egg, fried but still runny on a steak. Almost every salad has egg in it, and most sushi rolls do too. Sometimes they boil eggs in soy sauce, which actually tastes really good, and people like the brown color the eggs turn. The worst egg experience I had was at a Chinese restaurant in Hiroshima. I had a piece of duck, and on the side were two soy sauce eggs that looked like they had been soft boiled and cut in half. What it was more like was they were dipped in boiling soy sauce until they became firm enough to hold together without a shell, then cut in half and served, the yolks still raw and cold. Mmm.
Besides that, I just wanted to post these two pictures to show how big the difference between the tides are here. Here are two pictures of a little harbor near my house, one taken at my lunch break, and one in the evening.
That's all I've got for now, I have an orientation is Saijo city for the entirety of next week, hopefully by the time I get back I'll have the internet at my house - I'll have some catching up to do when I get back.
