Tuesday was the day of our first vocational visits which were fantastically assisted by translators. I was hosted by All-in-Law and Accounting and was able to visit to visit the Hiroshima District and High Courts - saw part of a personal injuries case and a criminal appeal.Fiona went to the Nagisa Koen Elementary School and watched a Grade 3 english class. Steven went to Hiroshima Uni and attended the endoscopy unit and was amazed that only 5 procedures per day were completed - however, the technology was fantastic.
Bec went to the Personal Welfare Service Public Corporation and the Government Pension Investment Fund and was surprised at how similar it was to home as well as the Social Insurance and Labour Consultants. Then she went to the Momiji Bank where the American market crash was affecting the atmosphere.
Jill went to a privately owned garden "Hanbee Gardens" designed by a famous Japanese person Mirei Shigemore.
Then we had delicious Okonomiyaki for lunch - yum yum!
On to the Radiation Effects Research Foundation for a video and tour. Another delicious dinner with our host families.

Correction! There were actually around 30 endoscopy procedures that day but there were 6 rooms running simultaneously with a specialist in each room. This meant that each specialist did no more than 5 or 6 procedures.
