This city

I feel very privileged to live here. I've been having a lot of fun in Fukuoka lately and really loving it. I am excited to discover much more in the coming year and a half!290 yen ramen. Pretty unbelievable? There's a 280 yen ramen place right around the corner from my workplace. I'm a bit terrified to try it.

But don't force it!

Back there is Nakasu, the red-light district. I hear there are actually some fun, interesting, not insane/scary things to do there.
Oooh. ACROS on the left.
Nakasu to the left, Canal City in the far center.
Oooooh.
ACROS and this very unusual futuristic building (it's an insurance company or something).
ACROS and one of the many offshoots of the Nakagawa (Naka River).
Entrance to ACROS.
This ride was pimped out.
Obligatory ACROS shot.
IMS (Inter Media Station) to the left, where I sometimes go to work (it's a 15 story mall). My office would be to the right of that little Aflac sign on the right. But the building isn't anything worth photographing.
Mitsukoshi, an up-scale department store/train station/huge bus terminal, all in one.
Tenjin. Nice.
A public toilet for dogs. Not kidding! I didn't realize this was here until a few days ago.
An amazing bento box clock display.
Kirameki-dori, "Glitter Avenue," as seen from the station entrance.
