Day 9 of Overseas Trip
I went to the nearest tram station from my hostel. On the tram, there was a lady in charge of manning the tram and offering loose change for passengers with notes of large denomination.



That lady saved a old granny from falling with her arm. What a pose. From there, I kinda admire that kind of act. In fact, I never paid much attention to work uniforms. Seeing that, I find that Japanese work uniforms look cooler than that of Singapore.

It is easy to locate the JR Miyajima Ferry if you take tram instead of JR train. The tram stop is about less than 2 minutes walk from JR Miyajima Ferry.

Finally, I arrived Miyajima. It is a small island next to Hiroshima.
About 15 minutes walk. Itsukushima Shrine was easily spotted. It is one of the main highlight the visitors go for in Miyajima. A lot of visitors are taking pictures of this one.




After taking picture of Itsukushima Shrine, I did a short climb on a hill. I saw this tall pagoda. I sat down somewhere for a short rest.

Someone from Singapore send me Facebook texts. Ah, it is my former colleague asking me about the ERP-based software she used in our former workplace - she wanted to fill up that for her job application. I took sweet 5-10 minutes to explain that over Facebook. Till today, I guess her job application is not successful.












While I was descending from the hill, I was stunned to see deer walking on the steep hill, passing by in front of me.

It is the other side of the Miyajima island. I sat there to enjoy the breeze. At the same time, I check my smartphone on when the low tide will come. Gosh, it is next few hours later. I decided not to wait for that.

I tried beef tongue for a early snack. Wow, it is tasty.







Oh well, I went back to Hiroshima. It is end of Day 9. Day 10 is the day I first use my 21 days JR Pass!
