Saga + International Balloon Fiesta

Saga, the prefecture of nothing! except for Saga beef i guess, and i got some giant nabe soup on the street for free, its so big that when they put cabbage in, they pour it out from a garbage bag ;p but for a city with nothing, man, there was like freakin billion people at the hot balloon festival, its soooo crowded, its crazy, they made a train station just for the festival for people to get off, hot air balloons are kinda cool, since i never seen like 50 of them all lined up or flying in together, too bad i didnt get to ride on it though… anyway, its pretty cool, got some nice pics… somewhat, too many heads in the way >.< but fook man, on the day i went, ebi-chan was in fukuoka!!! she was at her old school’s gakuensai! omfg now i will never get to see her, ever =(

Walk to Honshu – Kitakyushuu

the 2nd biggest city in Fukuoka, its actually pretty big, Kokura eki is huge, and they got monorails! but then like… i dont know, we didnt know much on what to do, the castle was under construction and it looks like a museum inside (im telling you now, himeji castle is THE best, everything original, you climb real castle stairs and you get to see ninja holes/secret passages), theres some cool looking mall that kinda looks like canal city, so then we just went to Mojiko, its famous for bananas i think? and from there, its the most northern tip of kyushuu and theres a bridge connected to honshu, and then im so awesome, i walked there, from one island to the other, and i have the tourist stamps to prove it! they built an underground tunnel, and ppl can go across, its less than 2km, and kinda weird a lot of ppl exercise down there

the cop stopped me the other day when i was riding home, and then i got a ticket for having no light, like 90% of the bikers out there, and ugh comment spam sux, i deleted like 150+ comments from over the weekend, and its so freakin cold here! its not -4 outside, but its about 16 deg inside, go no heaters

(places left to visit: oita/beppu, kagoshima, miyazaki, hiroshima, matsue)
