Kintaikyo Bridge and Miyajima

JAPAN | Thursday, 12 November 2009 | Views [455]

Last night was so cool.  we were in the common area having the most interesting conversation with a group of people from all over the world about the things they have seen on their travels.  I think I like that part the most, meeting people in the hostel. You just learn so much about eachother's countries and customs.  This morning we went to Kintaikyo bridge first which is basically just a bridge with four arches but what makes it so special is that its made using a Japanese technique which requires no use of nails.  The scenery around it was pretty as well.  After that we went to the main attraction in Hiroshima the Tori in Miyajima.  Which we've seen a million Tori so far but this one if you catch it at the right time looks like it floats on water.  Stacey and I are definately ready to leave Japan now we've seen all that we wanted to see and all the shrines and temples are starting to look the same.  I wanted to mention one thing I forgot to in the entries. This place is one of the cleanest countries I've been to if not the cleanest.  There is no litter anywhere but the strange thing is is that you can never find a garbage can!  Whcih is funny cause we have so many and we still manage to litter.
