... factory store was 30% off the usual price. Amazingly, there were sidewalks for the entire route, which included some very rural areas. In Arita, street furniture included exhibit cases with pottery inside. Then it was over the river, through the hills, and under the Nishi-Kyushu Expresway. I passed some rice fields that were being harvested. <br><br><br>IMARI<br><br>Imari is the third major pottery town in Kyushu. By the way, Kyushu ...

We arrived in Nagasaki at 0800 today (our Monday&#8212;your Sunday). We plan to visit ground zero where the A Bomb was dropped and go to the museum. After that we'll just play it by ear and look around.<br><br>Kobe was great. I tasted my first Kobe beef steak. The claim that it is "fork tender" is absolutely no ...

... happened as we walked in to have a Japanese version of the supremes singing! Perfect. Much mad dancing followed and we eventually headed to sleep around 1am.<br><br>Lucky the next day was free since me and my roomie Belinda were feeling slightly worse for wear. We tried to get up around 9.30am... really only managed 10.30am and even then only headed out to grab some beverages before we met up with some other guys from the tour to head to a sushi ...

Day 12 &#8211; Nagasaki<br><br>Some may say I was on a bomb tour heading to Nagasaki the second (following Hiroshima) city to be bombed by an atomic bomb. Similar to Hiroshima the main area had a peace park and museum. I did the walk around the park and visited the museum which had a few different exhibits to Hiroshima but on the whole fairly similar. For lunch that day on my walk around the place I saw this restaurant that looked relatively interesting and quite ...

... besitzerin die nicht weiß das ich da bin) nähern sich mir. Ich seh die Schatten hinter den Glasschiebetüren und schrei laut Suuuumimaaasen.... ein Ah kommt zurück und sie drehen wieder ab... naja... glück gehabt, sonst hätte es geändet wie in einen schlechten Anime....<br><br>Hab mir Vans Schuhe gekauft und zwei T-shirts bei uniqlo (hurraaaa ausverkauf in japan!!) außerdem noch ein Kapuzenshirt mit pilzen drauf ^_° <br>Sind dann am 31.

... wurden dann gleich beim 2. Versuch fündig leider nur für eine Nacht. Morgen ziehen wir dann ins Minshuku tanpopo (minshuku sind eine art Pension..also Familienbetrieb). Das ganze Hotel ist voll weiblicher Fans ich sags euch und wir wussten erst nicht was los ist am Bahnhof. Wir konnten zuerst nichtmal einen Sitzplatz von Sendai aus reservieren, dann ist der vom Ticketschalter extra runtergerannt und hat uns doch noch tickets gebracht ...

<br><br>Nagasaki<br><br>Went to Nagasaki for a day trip while<br>in Fukuoka. As a result of all the late nights, I did get to Nagasaki<br>late and did a quick rush of the sights. I have now done my A-bomb<br>check list of Japan. Nagasaki is a pretty place. Will need o return<br>and spend more time here one day in the future.<br>

... at hand as those buggers attack you especially in the night. I was going to add Top 3 of Dont's but all I can think of now is that Do not tip as it is not the custom here and may get you in awkward situation :). Tomorrow we are taking the plane to Sydney so new country with new adventures are ahead. As much as I love Japan it will be amazing to be able to read for example menus again and use actual words and not pointing all the time :) Japan, we will miss you!!!

... dining room, and seperate roof mounted speakers with individual mood music controls for each room. The shower/bath area also contains controls on the wall to turn it into a giant heated dehumidifying and drying chamber for drying your freshly washed clothes. When not dehumidifying, the air conditioner in the shower/bath chamber doubles as climate control. Another realisation I have come to is that I may never again experience a greater toileting experience. The ...
