After 7 hours on the night bus, we finally made it to Tokyo Station at 5:30 am. We hopped on the plane at 7:50 and arrived in Fukuoka by 10:00 am. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was raining raining raining. Luckily, Fukuoka is not big on sightseeing, but it is huge on FOOD! Indoor, warm, satisfying food. We ended up spending the day at the prettiest outdoor mall I have ever seen. Ron and I surprised ourselves when we decided to watch The Lion King since it was playing at the mall. We enjoyed it so much, which was surprising since it was all in Japanese. But since we are the Disney generation, all it took was tapping into the archive of Disney movie plots. We also ate delicious ramen. The famous Tonkotsu, pork broth and a type of Kyoto ramen with thick chewy noodles. And even though it was rainy, we made it to the food stalls that were lined up along the river. We had overpriced yakitori and delicious beer to finish the greatness. Next stop for tomorrow...Nagasaki.
