Japan Adventure

View from the train as we blow through a station. We caught the express today which makes fewer stops. This train ends in Shiminoseki, so we have to pay attention to get off in Iwakuni, where it makes a "brief" stop.


Although it was Saturday afternoon, there were lots of teenagers dressed in their school uniforms on the train. Students here spend a lot more hours at school. This girl's skirt is VERY short. My friend Junko told me sometimes they shorten them higher than they should. But the boys are totally engrossed in hand-held video games.

Back at the Iwakuni Station parking lot, we can see that the palm trees in the traffic circle (round about) have been uncovered after their winter rest, and the fronds are bright green.
