Then we caught the train to Fukuoka which is where we were staying that night. Fukuoka is in the North of Kyushu (which is the south island of Japan). Anyway, enough about Geography. We stayed at a "business hotel" and i got free socks! And Nate got a free face washer thing. Cool hey.
It gets better... Then we saw half naked men! They were training for a big race they had to compete in at 4.59am the following morning. It's part of a festival called Yamakasa where the men race against other teams carrying huge floats. During festival time it's common to see them getting around in the traditional outfits. Bonza.
Fukuoka is known for being quite a multicultural city. So we went and had Ethiopian food for dinner. It was quite tasty although one of the curries did have a suspiciously Japanese taste to it. Oh and the salad had olives?!
And just because i thought this was cool... The Lion King is showing around Japan at the moment so we've been seeing advertising everywhere:) cute hey?
