Hiroshima part deux

Hiroshima is a city of bridges. Several small rivers meet at the city, and join the bay or the Ota River. The Ota River Delta is also in Hiroshima, so there is a need for many bridges.






Like many towns, a lot of shopping areas are located in arcades such as the one above. We found both a Subway and a Mr. Donut, both of which beckoned us. The Subway was definitely Japanese, with a menu and taste unlike our American versions. Mr. Donut was Mr. Donut.



As I mentioned in the previous manhole cover post, Hiroshima is proud of its baseball team, the Carp. Here at the Carp Stadium, you can see the directions for the fans. I have it on good authority that the words say something like "Please to run over opposing team fans with bicycle whenever possible".

It was a decent looking and decently sized stadium downtown Hiroshima. Perhaps The Pettus Pie will tell you their story of going to a Carps game one evening together.
