Just Another Day

2014年05月17日


Today was just another day in suburban (but still very much urban) Japan.  お母さん took me to visit a beautiful Japanese garden before she left for work.


We drank 間茶 (ma-cha; a thick green tea) with a beautiful view of the garden on a quiet morning.


Afterward we fed the koi fish.  Check the photo album for more pictures and videos!


I also stopped by a Hokkaido Fair that was going on in central Fukuoka before heading over to the Canal City shopping center and watching a Japanese band called KANIKAPILA (http://kani7.com/) perform.


Afterward, I biked around aimlessly through all the sketchy parts of the city and then going to WAHAHA's rooftop party (http://srv01.sakura.ne.jp/tmp/flashMob20140517.mp4), where I met a lot of interesting people and made some of my first Japanese friends.  One of them is even going to North Carolina in August to spend a year at UNC Greensboro!  Small world, huh?
