... all the stuff we didn't carry in backpacks for the last 8 months so here we are, unpacking and repacking boxes, and shifting our necessary items to suitcases to bring with us to Oman... which is, tomorrow! Yep, our flights have been booked and tomorrow we leave Japan to fly all the way to Muscat, where we're staying for a couple days until we do the short jump to Salalah our new home. <br><br>What is ...

... in various robot-related activities."<br>* become the "'Silicon Valley of Robotics' in Fukuoka City Japan"!<br><br>The institute holds "science and technology workshops, for school teachers who intend to incorporate robot building courses as a part of their schools science education courses." It's "a portal of knowledge and hands-on activities for the youth and individuals seeking information and an understanding" thru on-site and in-school workshops and demonstrations. And ...

... has one of the more posh unit bathrooms--a ceramic tile interior, separate faucets for sink and tub/shower (instead of the usual faucet that swings), and a relatively low step into the room. By the way, adjacent to the train station, there is a bus station which has got to be the narrowest bus station in any major city, and there is a supersize Daiso 100-yen store above the bus station. <br><br>*Apologies to Lipps, Inc.

... hotel guests. Reminds me a bit of that long-neglected hit by Reparata and the Delrons, "Saturday Night Didn't Happen." <br><br>Tomorrow is my big hike--I am taking the train to Arita and walking to Hasami, which should be about an hour's walk, maybe longer. Thanks to computer mapping, I have a good map of the route, including the locations of convenience stores along the way. Hasami is a town where there's a company, Hakusan, that makes ...

We stayed in Fukuoka for one night as we were getting the Beetle at 9am in the morning from the port here. We knew it was a bit of a party town and had many street stalls so went out in the evening for a wander. We walked for miles but ended up back at the first street stall we saw as it had a good view and seemed busy enough that it was ok to eat in!! Sat down and got noodles as we couldn't decide ...

... This all happened on a small man-made island in Nagasaki called Dejima. Work is well underway to reconstruct this tiny trade island, and there were some interesting facts that I didn't know about. Quite a few products, habits and plants were introduced to Japan by the Dutch. After Nagasaki I took a train and a bus to Unzen. Unzen is a small village with volcanic activity: there are steam and the rotten egg smell everywhere. I teamed up with two French girls and we ...

... a-stick type of dishes. I didn't care for the sashimi, but the other stuff was good. We got lucky in that respect because neither Josh nor I could read much of the menu and most of our orders were shots in the dark. The bar had some inexpensive whiskey around, and I mixed it with a coke to make drinks. Japanese whiskey is only about ten percent alcohol and is weak stuff, but it goes down smoothly. Josh struck up a conversation with our waitress and then extended it to a second waitress ...

... special tasting soy sauce on a side dish, added wasabe on the side, and a green Japanese chili mix. The chili mix mixed with the soy sauce was indeed very spicy, but it gave the Aji raw fish slices a very interesting taste, quite different from wasabi. I think "aji" is mackerel. On the side there was also a basil leave, which gave the aji an additional interesting herbal taste. The next dish that came was a rice dish, or as explained ...
