Decision in: Buddha was a Laaadddddy
Today was momentous . . . we saw something giant in Japan!
Coffs Harbor has met it's match. There's not just one banana, but a WHOLE bunch as well as a giant hand!!
And all in the middle of nowhere in Shikoku.
Had perfect spring weather today - the kind I am looking forward to when I return to A-town. Only it's Autumn here - So I evidentally rule the world! It was such a lovely day. We finally decided not to move out of the Matusyama Youth Hostel, but stay here for our last night. Then we headed off for Uchiko 内子 on a day-trip and I was so happy with our choice! Not only was the town well worth the visit but we got to ride an An-Pan-Man train! It kicked arse - playing the An-Pan-Man theme song to notify that it was about to leave the station! Oh how I will miss this land of kitsch.
It only took 30 minutes to reach Uchiko from Matsuyama via a rapid train and then we had a lovely time wandering the near empty streets filled with Edo period buildings. We bought some sweet sweet dirt cheap mandarines and discovered a lying Buddha. This led to much eating of mandarines and esoteric discussion on a breezey mountain top shaded from the midday sun. We came to the verdict that Buddha must have been a lady based on the breasts, lack of a package, pregnant lady feet and earrings. ENLIGHTENMENT achieved.
And for our next trick . . . tomorrow we plan on a sauna and tour of a park here before a mid-afternoon ferry back to Hiroshima to meet up with Keinan for dinner.
Then begins our insanely packed Hiroshima-Tour-De-Force . . . .
Saturday - Miyajima with Nami and her family.
Piss up and Karaoke with my friends.
Sunday - Shopping and lunch with Kana at Marina Hop
Monday - Kindy and Peace Park et al.
Okonomiyaki dinner with Mansion peeps (*In Japan when you say Mansion you mean apartment building)
Tuesday - Rene will see Ayumi for the first time in 10 years.
Wednesday . . . Anything yet not done . . .
To shinkansen it or not to shinkansen it? That is the question . . . Night bus . . .
