Ohori Park, Fukuoka

Sunday I spent the day in Fukuoka city with Meng, Richard, and Jimmy. We ate at a famous ramen shop... with the best spicy ramen I've ever had! After that we went around to all the big, foreign name brand stores. I thought those stores were expensive in America... but they are even more expensive in Japan. We went to Ohori Koen (park), too. The weather was awesome and the park was really pretty. I even spotted a few Cherry Blossoms (Sakura)! It was a nice afternoon. We ended up meeting up with one of Jimmy's co-workers who lives in Fukuoka and we ate burgers and fries at this little restaurant. The burgers were fantastic! We finished out the day at an Irish pub in order to somewhat celebrate St. Patrick's Day. We caught the very last possible train back to Ube and got back at 11:30pm. It was a nice day. Check out these pictures from the park! ***Jimmy took the picture of us on the right... so photo credit goes to him... it's a nice shot -> -> ->

We also took "purikura!" Purikura is short for "print club"... you take your picture in these photo booths and they have all kinds of fun backgrounds to chose from. After you take the pictures you use a machine to draw things on the pictures and add on all sorts of different things. It's a lot of fun and everyone always looks good in purikura!


*We accidentally put the wrong date on the purikura... supposed to be 3/15/09... oops!*
