Aside from the fact that I was getting very far behind, the memory card on which my diaries were stored has stopped working. It may be software, in that the disk format is not right, but I suspect it may be hardware. In any case, I do not currently possess the necessary tools to repair it.
Therefore, I shall present the Cliffs Notes version of my trip, thus far:
Kyoto was not very fun. I blame this on not enough sleep, tremendous heat, too much walking, and not enough information on what to do there.
Hiroshima was wonderful. The memorial was very well done, and was worth the trip. We had okonomiyaki, which was very very tasty. Again, the Japanese train system is wonderful.
Back in Tokyo, we went to the Ghibli Museum, which is also very well done. Anyone who is under the age of eight, or is interested in animation at all, or likes Studio Ghibli movies, needs to go to this museum. It's a very nice way to spend a couple of hours. And the environs are pretty, too.
On Sunday I got a tip from a friend: I needed to go to Super Potato. Unfortunately for us, I thought he meant Super Potato, which has a .jp domain, shows up first if you do a Google search, and is also located in Tokyo. It's an interior design firm, though, not a retro-video-game heaven.
Sunday afternoon my dad and I went to the train station to catch a train to Narita, so he could catch his plane. Unfortunately again, once we got to Narita, we discovered that it would be a while before the train from Narita to Narita Airport arrived. Oops. He ended up getting to the airport with 45 minutes to spare, which on an international flight is not good. Apparently he made it home just fine, though.
I think that's where I'll stop it for now. Next time I'll finish up Japan, and begin writing about my time in Sydney, so far.
