Day 16: Hiroshima: CHRISTMAS

For some weird reason, in the 70s, KFC decided that the people of Japan needed to celebrate Christmas - not the gift-giving, tree-putting kind of Christmas, the type with fried chicken.

Even to this day, there have been signs everywhere advertising to order your Christmas Chicken, so we, being the total rip-off tourists we are obviously got fried chicken for our Christmas dinner.

And it was delicious.

It seems like the whole of Japan quite likes the idea of Christmas though, as our hostel hosted  a Christmas Party for us last night complete with drinks, cake and costumes... Even the 7/11 workers dressed up for it!!

After lunch, we bought some movie tickets and then just chilled on the rooftop at our accommodation with some drinks. It was really chill, and kinda nice to just sit back and listen to some carols.

We also bought tickets to see the new Star Wars (and I know Sean's dad reads my blog, so I'm really sorry Sean went without you!!)

The movie was awesome btw, but the apple Sean had before it was arguably more impressive.

Tomorrow, Peace Memorials xx
