Shinkansen

This morning I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Hiroshima. I think it is one of the fastest trains in the world; it was one of the original bullet trains. It goes from Tokyo to Hiroshima in less than 4 hours, even with 6 stops--that's fast.

Japanese society is incredibly well organized. Travel is expensive, but so easy! I told the hotel I expected to be here 5:00 or 6:00 pm. Instead I arrived at 2:25.

Now I'm waiting for my room.
