This blogs full of shit like this
So, Miyamjima is apretty interesting place. It's got a famous temple some lovely mountains and deer that come right up and bite you on the ass. Well not all of them come up to you and bite you on the ass, but these ones were certainly biting this guy. I can understand why so many Japanese tourists come to Banff and Jasper and try to feed the animals. Well, Japanese people from Hiroshima anyway. 
We headed out here on a Saturday after we had been in Hiroshima for a conference. We visited the Peace Museum on the Friday and then out here to Miyajima on Saturday.
One of the beautiful things about Japan is how much they love food. Everything the Japanese prepare always LOOKS great. Every 'ken' has different specialities and those specialities change from season to season. The seasonal food this time of year is oysters, so every place we went to was serving freshly caught oyster. Now i know that trying new food is one of those great things about travelling, but man I cannot eat those oysters! I try and try but it just does not happen.
Anyway, Miyajima is a really nice little island and theres lots to do. We managed to fit in a visit to the local aquarium, where they have all sorts of crazy looking fish and aquatic life. There was one huge tank right as you walk in that was full af around 25 different kinds of fish and 2 sting rays, plus a couple sea turtles to boot. But the catch was there were only one, maybe two of each kind of fish. They must just catch what they need for the aquarium, then when it dies catch another one.
It was a very beautiful place and once we figure out how to get the photo gallery up and runing there will be a lot more pictures of it to look at.
