Day 6: Kagoshima, Sinnyatushiro, Shimabara (Mt. Unzen Disaster Memorial Hall), Nagasaki...

Things I learned on the road that day:

1. Japanese baths have a height in which you are directly at eye level with “Asian Pork Sausages” when you are sitting down at one. I may have to write a blog just on that subject alone.

2. The act of bowing happens everywhere – when you enter, when you leave, when you take off in a ferry, when you finish a meal at a restaurant. If it was possible to harness the power of Japanese bowing, we could solve the energy crisis tomorrow.

3. If someone Japanese speaks Japanese to you and you have no clue what they’re talking about, they will pantomime the hell out of what they’re trying to say until you kinda get it. But the reverse does not always work out as well.
