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.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
