I was in Fukuyama last Summer and pictures 6 and 7 reminded me of driving by the elevated tracks for the Fukuyama Station. Thanks for that memory!

Did you visit Fukuyama City in Hiroshima Prefecture? I took a stroll around the port town of Fukuyama in 2019. Fukuyama is a place full of memories for me too.

I was in a program to learn the language and culture. Unfortunately, the days were so highly structured that I had very little time to explore the city. My host family took me to Fukuyama Castle, which was fascinating! I saw the city from the top of the castle, but most of my stay consisted of seeing the city from the inside of vehicles.

I see, I regret that I did not enter the building of Fukuyama Castle. If you have a chance to visit the area again, I recommend you to see the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea. I will be publishing the photos I took when I visited the place in "JAPAN ORDINARY" in the future, so please look forward to it.

The photo at the top makes me realise once again that we seem to live in the same world, but this world is nevertheless different. Cheers from Poland!

Wouldn't two worlds that are similar but different in some way be more exciting than two completely different worlds?

Both options have their own appeal. But I'm sure you'll agree that if it was the same everywhere, it would be very boring.
