hiroshima

arrived in hiroshima very hung over (last night drank rather a lot at english pub, met short cute japanese girl and also australian(?) as well as people from Japan, Algeria (there with his japanese neice and her friend), Sweden(gothenburg) (Israeli barman laughed when I told the algerian that I'd been conceived there); mixed guinness with bloody mary and tequilla shots (japanese have some paper / scissors / stone elimination game to decide who must drink the next shot)). Stumbled back to hotel around 4am after falling asleep and then falling over several times in Club Metro. Have found little inn to stay in with japanese rooms (tatami mats on floor, mattress on that, take of shoes at reception and put on slippers but in tatami rooms just wear socks). Once checked in (green tea and a banana served to me in my room as I filled out the registration form) slept for a few hours, then out to convenience store for nibbles and some Pocari Sweat to finish off the end of my hangover. Now at internet and comic club (Futaba@cafe), which I had to become a member of (JPY105) in order to enter. Perhaps after this, will grab a pint before bed... perhaps not.
