– A lovely late morning view of Kure, Japan. A cloudy one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This blogpost covers the day of February 14th, while in Kure, Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woke up fairly late, at around 10 AM. Woke up late thanks to the night previous talking in two areas. Caught up on Twitter\/X, Blue Archive, and Azur Lane on the dailies part. You know, the usual. I also briefly vented about both Microsoft Flight Sim about the Dune DLC, and even Fukuoka. One is probably at how scummy Microsoft is, and second is in relation to how I was denied Hakata Ramen, and maybe some other things, even if it was a mostly good stay in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washed up, readied myself, and went to train spot after constantly hearing trains rattling while sitting in my room. The muffled sound of trains running back and forth on the line. I was also suggested to visit ‘Marita Shokudo. I had some Oyakodon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plans were loose, yet settled on visiting navy-related museums. Trifuneyama Memorial Museum, Akishio Submarine museum (a place I failed to visit prior), and Yamato Museum for the KanColle flight deck collaboration exhibit. Everything else was bonus this day. It was also Valentine’s Day, something which hit later in the evening, something I really never focused on, not until the Yamato Promenade. A nice KanColle-Azur Lane filled day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A somewhat slow morning leading into a sleepy afternoon. Just quickly trainspotting prior to heading out to do things in Kure. The mood felt different here, as it should, with me wondering what people were up to. Simple general curiousity. Assuming there are military drills going on, other people shopping, school happenings, and everything in a military-themed hue. Especially when I compared this place to Ottawa, Canada, the atmosphere and vibe was interesting. The mental exploration (culture shock) was genuinely interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
