+We left our comfortable hostel in Kyoto early in the morning for a second Shinkansen
+ride of 360Km, this time on the faster [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozomi_%28train%29|Nozomi]].
+The one-way ticket was "just" 10,250円, equivalent to $105 or €80.
+
+Unlike Kyoto, there aren't many sites of historic interest in Hiroshima because, quite
+unsurprisingly, every building in the city center is at most 64 years old.
+With [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima_Peace_Memorial|one notable exception]].
+Coming such a long way only to see a broken dome and a nearby memorial 
+
+In the afternoon, we returned to the Hiroshima station to take the 16:01 Shinkansen,
+and traveled in no time for another 690Km to another location which will be revealed
+in due time.  Don't miss the next amazing episode of Bernie's Adventures!

 appreciate complex and delicate flavors takes some more time.

+As for beer, I still couldn't find one I like.  The most popular ones, Asahi and Kirin,
