Hiroshima: Going South

1600hrs, 12th August
Even after a night's sleep, I'm still feeling like a zombie. Needless to say, the whole body aches too. And sheesh, can't the cicadas out there are give me a break?

This is my schedule for summer. Super-packed, no?

Leaving for Kyoto tonight but am yet to pack my bag. Gotta make a move... Now!

Back from trip. Tired like shit. The messy room's giving me a headache. But I just can't wait to post these photos!
