Fukuoka, 2024.09.23

Today I had quite a walk across the city, probably another 10km jaunt including the walk to Hakata station in the morning. It was quite pleasant, although I found myself at one point in what I can only describe as the Mississauga of Fukuoka (shudder). I visited the old castle ruins, a very nice park built around a large pond, and also visited the Fukuoka Tower. Along the way I made time for an early dinner and had the superb luck of finding a Nepalese place called "スリランカにしじん" in Nishijin. I cannot stress this enough: the carrot had coconut in it! So, so good. The whole thing was damn good, I could see all the containers of spices in the kitchen and hear them banging away to prepare each dish.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
