I'm in Hiroshima, THIS Hiroshima. I think that city government works hard on its PR, so Hiroshima wouldn't be seen only as a place where first A-Bomb was dropped. The city itself is very peaceful and relaxing, and so I take it easy, as usual. What's most important, there is vegan cafe in Hiroshima, check out what they serve: Back in Nara I had really funny story... I sit in cafe, where I was hosted by CSurfer, Hiro; facing the window.

Chyba najwieksza trudnoscia jest wydostanie sie na odpowiednie miejsce do stopowania, jednak jak raz dostaniesz sie na autostrade, to tylko przesuwasz sie pomiedzy sebisu eira ( czyli stacjach paliwa) az do celu. Kyoto jet wrecz usiane swiatyniami, poki co odwiedzilam dwie z nich, jutro zapewne odwiedze kilka dalszych, a ostatecznie i tak zleja mi sie w jedna calosc i prz...
