13:44:36 A particularly hi-tech vending machine in Hiroshima...13:44:43 ....look at that screen!14:24:48 The Indian restaurant in the centre of Hiroshima - Nanak - where we had lunch with Bashi-san. I think I have been here once before. It was very nice.

17:03:58 Chie doing the UFO song during our bout of karaoke.17:04:08 The UFO song - always the same video with these two women doing the bizarre dance that accompanies it.17:57:34 At the end of our karaoke session - Bashi-san and Chie outside the new Shidax karaoke place in Hiroshima.

19:49:43 Later on that evening, here we are in a Spanish restaurant in Hiroshima with Chie's friend Mana-chan.20:14:43 Me outside my favourite dirt cheap famiresu - Grazie Gardens.20:15:02 ...several efforts were required to get the picture right - I had my eyes closed here....

20:15:07 ...and the sign is a bit over-exposed here... oh well!20:18:47 Not sure why I felt it necessary to take a picture of this sign - I think I liked the way they had formed these hiragana into the shape of a map of Japan (at least that is what I assumed the intention was).21:19:13 I was pleased as punch to find Dom Kolsch in the little world beer bar we went to later on.

21:19:35 Chie and Mana-chan.21:20:18 ...again with the flash on, not sure which I prefer.21:22:04 Mmmmmm.... Dom Kolsch.

22:07:54 Errrr, a nice mirror.
