figure there's no excuse not to have a blog. 

not with smartphones and instagram. 

not since living like 7 years in hiroshima.

i'm not gonna lie. i went through this HUGE anti-english phase. i felt like i had to prove myself, i guess. i dunno.

but the phase ended when i rediscovered my chemical romance (don't) and the fandom with it. 

MCR made me remember why english was fun ー the fans hit that point home.

on my recent trip home, i was reminded even more about why i love english and i got to thinking, why not start writing about life in hiroshima, a town that surely everyone has heard of, but few get even a glance at. 

it's likely a misunderstood place, too. but there is so much more to hiroshima than atomic bombs. there's an entire prefecture ー hiroshima doesn't end in the city. it is surrounded by mountains, nay guarded by them, and enclosed in the south by the seto inland sea. earthquakes are rare. hiroshima city is cut into pieces by rivers and united by bridges. 

not too big, not too small. perfect for those who lack a sense of direction, like me.

so consider this blog a small introduction to hiroshima, and to my life there.
