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.

When the world is in accord with the Dao, fast horses are left to fertilize fields. When the world is not in accord with the Dao, war horses are bred in the countryside.
