Hello there!
In Sendai in that great hostell I met an Italian girl named Alessandra, she was from Torino and was doing an internship at Slow Food, Japan. Very interesting stuff, great talks. Also, the Sendai Mediatheque, a famous contemporary building I wanted to see, was closed on my first day, so I had to stay another night for else I would have come up north- by 300km/hour bullet train, you have seen in the previous pictures- for nothing.
Luckily I waited fot the Mediatheque to open because it was really a radical building[in terms of structure], really worth seeing. Especially the lift-ride trough one of these web-like shafts was really some experience.
That day I had to spent extra in Sendai was a great day by the way. I found out, just in time, that some of Japans best coastal scenery was close to Sendai: a small bay filled with with over 200 small islands. No people and just some small fishing-villages. It was kind of difficult finding my way there since everything was only in Japanese... but really nice to be hiking a bit in nature! Spent a day crossing some bridges to some islands and climbing a small hill there... Hope the pictures tell some of the Sendai story. In real-life it was about a 100times better- except for the crazy heat and humidity.
