Fukuoka, 2024.09.29

I headed across the downtown area of Fukuoka to see if I could fins a collared t-shirt in my size, as one of the shirts I brought with me is disintegrating rapidly. I failed, because the retailers were loaded with hoodies and denim jackets. It's still over 30ยบ every day and I admire their optimism. I decided to go for a ferry ride to the islands that form the outer harbor. I would spend the next several hours doing that, first riding to the island and then walking back about 5.4km to a train station. One train exchange and I was back at Hakata, from which I walked back. I looked it up and it seems I'd walked about 5.4km on the city side, all in. Symmetry!
