Karatsu, Saga, 2024.10.05

Today I attended a barbecue with colleagues from several offices. The food was, as someone put it, 'very high quality'.

After that I headed to the small city of Karatsu, in Saga prefecture. It was my first time visiting the prefecture (#25!) and I'm glad I made it a visit to a castle town. Walking to the river from the station, and then back, I managed to visit just during Golden Hour. In all, I had only about half as much time in the town as I did traveling, but it was fun.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
