Well well peeps I have checked into Miyajima Backpackers and it is a great place. Whish they had availability for my whole stay in Hiroshima. Right on the shore three minutes from the station and awesome staff. The place is 22 days old and super clean. Tonight they are putting on a Ton-Jiru party which means free Japanese food! As you have guest this dish involves pork cause you all know they use Ton for pork, Tonkotsuten ramen is pork and prawn, this Ton-Jiru looks to be a Shabu-shuabu type deal. Pork stock with various vegetables and forms of soy bean in it. Gonna be tasty! Unfortunately I had already heated the pack of super good instant noodles I had been saving but this Ton-jiru dosn't seem to involve any meat so It may not be too filling for me.
Went over to Miyajima island today after doing some laundry and it was very beautifull, unfortuantely I hadn't realised today is the weekend so it was packed with families doing the tourist thing. That wasn't the worst part though. As you head up to each shrine the streets are lined with FOOD VENDORS! So muh tasty food and I didn't buy a single thing :> very proud of that, just hope all this sacrifice pays off in Tokyo.

Took lots of pictures and saw a Tanuki, I have no idea what to call it in engish as I have never seen one of these things before in real life or otherwise. Kinda like a racoon but without a tail?
Oh and started the day real well. Checked out of Hiroshima and into my new place and realised I had left my leather jacket in Hiroshima, first train back and they had it waiting for me. Needless to say I was extremely gratefull to them and will never leave anything behind again.
Tomorrow up early for Himeji. Should be nice as long as the weather is as good tomorrow as it was today.
Bye for now
