To Fukuoka dag 132, 133 og 134.

  

Dag 132.

At Sea

Enrichment programs about The History of Japan by Robert Warne – 5 stars!

Dag 133.

Arrival Fukuoka at 1200!

Excursion, Panoramic Fukuoka 1300 -1600 - rainy and windy.

Tenjin shopping center. Stop for 15 minutes. I stayed in the bus with the other men.

I hate shopping centers, when you have no need to buy anything.

Oasis of Ohori Park. Moat for Fukuoka Castle from the Edo period 1603-1867.

Largest castle on Kyushu

Fukuoka Dome, Fukuoka Tower 767 feet tall tower, modernist version of Empire State Building.

Hakate station with more shopping centers. Hakate is the old name for Fukuoka.

Then back to pier.

The guide made up for the dreary weather by telling some short stories and singing a cherry blossom song, and a song explaining why the Japanese like sake all year around.

She also insisted that we used Alligator (arigato), when we wanted to thank somebody, not Crocodile. Then she taught the whole bus to count to ten in Japanese. I have already forgotten.

Short story number 1.

2 poisonous snakes met, the younger seemed to be very worried and asked, are we poisonous snakes, the elder said yes, we are both poisonous snakes, why? The younger looked even more worried and said, this morning by accident I bed my own tongue.

Short story number 2.

I was watching 3 professors standing discussing wildly at the station waiting for the train. Suddenly the train arrived and everybody hurried into it and the train left. Back stood 1 of the professors and he looked very worried. I asked him what was the matter 2 out of 3 wasn’t that bad. He said you understand nothing, the 2 others were seeing me off to the train.

Billedkvaliteten er efter omstændighederne. Taget inde fra en kørende bus med regndråber på ruderne og mange reflekser fra det tykke glas. Jeg synes alligevel at de giver et rimeligt billede af Fukuoka!

 Tilbage til Kyushu - Fukuoka

 den sydligste af de store øer

Næsten en naturhavn

 Regn og blæst - ikke turist vejr

 Kirsebærtræerne blomstrer alligevel

eleverede motor veje over havnen

 Fukuoka Tower 767 feet - ligner et "halvt" tårn! 

 Deres overdækkede Stadion ca. 60.000 siddepladser

Tempel Portal med Kirsebærtræer

 Kun ruinerne tilbage af deres gamle fæstning

 Flere Kirsebærtræer i parken uden for ruinerne

whole park of Pink and White blossoming Cherry trees

 voldgraven med fæstningsmuren i baggrunden

Mere fæstnings mur ?

 Tulipanerne skal ikke glemmes

 Starbucks coffee everywhere

 Main Street where the shopping center is below ground

 flotte blomsterbede hvor der plads

Terrasse bygning med træer på terrasserne

 set på afstand

 lidt tættere på

 moderne kunst

Hakata gamle bynavn for Fukuoka

et af de gamle huse

 indgangen til deres tempel

 den er god nok vi er i Fukuoka

 Statue ved deres Rådhus

Jeg slutter med cherry pink and apple blossom white!

For at give et retfærdigt billede af Fukuoka Tower har jeg lånt et par billeder af Google. Tårnet set fra forskellige vinkler.

 "det halve tårn"

 er trekantet

 og splittet i 2

 helt normal fra denne vinkel

 ligeså her

 flot med lys på

i forskellige farver

Dag 134.

Almost a whole day off, doing nothing. “It is hard to be a tourist all the days”. Frit from Die Nightingales julekalender!

Departure for Hiroshima. 1500

 Ud gennem øhavet

 gennem strædet til Hiroshima

 havnemolen og den store havnebro er synlig

 Fukuoka Tower synligt

 

Stadion med skydetaget synlig

Farvel til Fukuoka
