The capital of Vietnam, Hanoi is located in the north of the country. Crowded
(pop. 6,000,000+), a little polluted, and slightly run-down, it nonetheless is
very quaint.
Though I did not like Vietnam, I liked Hanoi. A lot. I thought it had a
certain charm to it.

April
29, 2016 marks the eagerly anticipated grand opening of the Kyoto Railway Museum. Covering an area of
30,000 square meters on the former site of the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum,
a 20 minute walk west of Kyoto Station, the new museum boasts an impressive
collection of 53 trainsthat span the
history of rail travel in Japan from steam locomotives to the shinkansen.
Ajisai Viewing in Kamakura
Today I headed out to Kamakura to visit a few temples famous for their
hydrangea flowers. Hydrangea are called ajisai in Japanese, and typically bloom
from around mid-June to mid-July, which coincides with the rainy season.
This
year, they have started blooming over a week early, so already the popular
viewing spots are getting crowded. I visited three spots to check out the status
of the blossoms and the crowds, starting with Hasedera Temple.
