As far as history goes, this entry is going to come up a bit short. I went to Fukuoka for a few days over New Years and while I was there I visited a castle (unknown origin/name) that had a very nice bridge leading to it (unknown bridge), a museum (next to the above unknown castle) that had some really interesting samurai armor and weapons and a temple. Fukuoka itself is much like other non-Tokyo cities is Japan: more unused space and greenery. It was New Years, so naturally very quiet. Also, in three days, I didn't see any other foreigners. Not even at the airport. Since it was a short trip, this is in no way a review/critique of the city and I am just using this as a place holder to share a few of the pictures that I was able to get.
Enjoy

Just want to wish everybody a happy new year. This site may be quiet for the next few days but I'll be adding a few new things next week. I also have some pretty nice plans for the next couple of months that may be of some interest, including the "Made in Japan" section that will feature (I hope once a week, at least) some new and interesting foods and drinks.
So, what's your resolution?
