day two - fukuoka

after an interminable drive in the most uncomfortable van seat ever manufactured, we arrive in the beautiful - and i mean beautiful - city of fukuoka, on the southernmost tip of japan's mainland.

we arrived in an area called kyushu, which seems to be a nightclub/upscale urban young folk kinda area.

the show again was packed with earnestly polite japanese hardcore kids.

i ate bibimbap in a korean restaurant because jim is a vegetarian and can't speak japanese... so i spoke korean. that was a trip, coming to japan to eat korean food.

went to a pachinko/games room, truly a hypnotic, robotic and weird trip.

now it's morning and i'm feeling rested for our trip to tsuyama okayama.
