Kobe
The city, not Bryant. Kobe is a major port city in Japan, and it’s history includes a huge earthquake in 1995. Seeing the place now, you wouldn’t even know there was an earthquake. I got to this city from Nara at around 4:30 PM and since a bunch of places in Japan close around this time, I wasn’t able to do the majority of the things this city offered, which included a huge sake district. Think of it as the Napa Valley for sake. So I just decided to walk aimlessly around the city and let the traveling gods take care of it. It turned out to be a good time, and I ended up at the harbor. I was also going to try the Kobe beef here, but figured a good ribeye at home was good enough for me. I was content. Good times, fun city.
Kobe!
The streets of Kobe.
The Maritime Museum. At a certain angle, it looked like a boat. Neat.
Ferris wheel
Story behind this is that this clock fell because of the earthquake, causing it to stop working at the exact time of the earthquake. They left it as it was and it’s now a memorial.
For those that have been to Japan, this should be a familiar sight. I walked into every one I came across trying to find that Black Thunder ice cream that Hanna freaking loves. Could not find it.
