Fun Dinner & Karaoke in Hiroshima! 8/20/11

It's almost 3 PM on a Saturday in late August & we're meeting Mayumi & Akemi at Iwakuni Station to take them to Molly Malone's in Hiroshima. Stan has just bought our train tickets, and I'm admiring all the travel posters & paper goldfish hanging above him. It's raining today, so we took a taxi to the station.




On the train now looking out the window. Oh - there's a coffee machine at a station that grinds & then brews your coffee fresh!


Raining as we ride over a bridge in Hiroshima. Akemi & Mayumi told us that they usually take the highway bus to Hiroshima because they can catch it in their neighborhood & it goes right downtown. Convenient.


At Hiroshima Station, they have the same goldfish hanging above! I made one of these one time at an arts & crafts building in Yanai City- where goldfish is their city symbol.


Mayumi & Akemi at Molly Malone's. This is their first time here.


We've all decided to try the sampler - 3 different types of beer with edamame & salted nuts. Perfect! Hiroshi (from Miyajima) is joining us about 5 with two young ladies he volunteers with on Miyajima Island.


Stan, Margie & Hiroshi at Molly Malone's. Kampai!


And he brought Yumiko & Aiko, who told me they both read our blog regularly - wow! Had no idea! Yumiko and I keep in touch because we're FB friends, and we met both of them several years ago, but it's been a while since we've seen them.


Everybody's hungry, so we ordered a variety of food. Yum!




Mayumi & Akemi are enjoying their food. And we're all enjoying our drinks!
