@AmyHemmeter @6a726d Weird, only thing that shows up for me is the 17 hr greyhound on google maps. What’s the line called? (We ended up renting a car bc it’s so much cheaper but I’m curious for future use!)

For long centuries, the women of the indigenous Ryukyuan people of the Okinawan peninsula wore ritual tattoos called Hajichi on their hands and forearms. When the Ryukyu Kingdom was annexed to Japan, the tattooing culture was banned. Now, they're slowly making a comeback.

Japanese baseball was a bit different than I was used to in the US. More fast-paced, more bunting, less weird animated condiment races on a big screen.
But perhaps the biggest surprise was that the Dragons’ mascot is a koala??? Why? #NPB #HiroshimaCarps #ChunichiDragons
