International City of Peace and Culture! — 1 year ago
I lived in Hiroshima for 3 years, working at the Mayor’s Office as a Coordinator for International Relations.
Great city to live in – easy to get around, amazing restaurants, friendly people.
There used to be a bar at one end of Hondori called Macs, where all the unsavory characters hung out. You could usually rely on a fight breaking out, being thrown up on, or achieving enlightenment there on any given night of of the week.
There was a restaurant across from the Peace Park called Marios that I still think is the best Italian Restaurant I’ve ever been to (and I’ve travelled extensively in Italy…).
I met my wife in Hiroshima, and we had our first kiss by the banks of one of the seven branches of the Otagawa River.
