This weekend the teachers at Baiko High School took a little trip to Hiroshima and Shimane. The weekend started with a ride in a bullet train to Hiroshima, where we ate a HUGE meal.
 We had-- in this order-- sashimi (basically sushi without the rice), fish liver, a plate of seafood (pictured above), deep fried sardines, deep fried squid, deep fried ham and onion on a stick, and a bowl of rice with roasted eel.
The next day we headed to Shimane to go the Iwami Silver Mine, a recently-appointed World Heritage Site. Back in the 17th century a third of the world's silver was mined from this location. Below is a little trail off the paved road that Ami and I investigated. We found some ruins tucked back in the forest.
 Before heading back to Shimonoseki we went to the Shimane aquarium. Their main attraction is a White Whale show, but Ami and I skipped it in order to spend more time in the rest of the museum. In all, it was a really fun trip. Now I have to go back to Hiroshima sometime to see all the other famous stuff! Labels: Baiko, Daily Photo |
