Well, that's an easy date to remember. I was going to go to the Fukuoka Asian art museum today but it was closed. So I wandered around in the afternoon. I saw the ACROS building (I'll post video of it when I can get a cheaper internet connection), it's actually a bit famous, architecturally. ACROS is perhaps famous, but I actually recognized it from a cartoon — haha. One of my favorite Japanese anime series is the absurdist Excel Saga, which is based in a slightly fictionalized (or a lot fictionalized) version of Fukuoka. It's very strange to be recognizing a cityscape from a cartoon. I also saw the Fukuoka Yahoo! Dome — yes, that Yahoo!, which is big in Japan. And Fukuoka is a bit of a software city, maybe a sort of Japanese, subtropical Seattle? And a big shopping mall. And many Starbucks. OK… more later.
