Hiking in Fukuoka Japan

I went hiking with a friend of mine recently. We rode our bikes about an hour to the east side of Fukuoka and hiked to the top of a mountain. I took just a few pictures, but recorded a lot more (which I don’t have online). It’s called Tachibanaiyama or Touchybunny or something, I don’t remember, but the top has an amazing view of city of Fukuoka Japan.

Graffiti in Japan

It’s strange to see so much graffiti everywhere. It doesn’t matter what kind of neighborhood I’m in, there’s graffiti somewhere. Who does this? Why? And when? Seeing it everywhere gets old.

Maybe this picture I took will explain some things…

Beware of the Yukata Yanki!

Final Bargain!

I thought this sign was funny. Because

  1. It was in front of a chain restaurant entrance trying to get me to enter
  2. It sounds like I was bartering with them for a while
  3. 5% is a discount, not a bargain, and no where close to a final bargain

Final Bargain 5%

Now here’s what a Final Bargain should look like, up to 70% off, hellz yeah!

Summer Time is Unagi Time!

That’s right, eel is all the rage this summer!! At least it was in July. Here’s some eel I feasted upon at a restaurant that serves mostly eel! It’s squishy, kind of like soggy fish, but not like ludafish. I was hungry, at ate this meal like it was my last, and it was good. If you haven’t tried it I recommend doing it at least once. If the taste reminds you of a dirty hippy, you know “earthy”, then you lost the unagi lottery my friend… so try again! If you’ve never had the earthy flavored eel, it’s like eating good eel with a handful of dirt (give it a try!).
