Last lunch of my parents in Japan

For the last lunch we have seen big!
Sashimi, tempura, salmon, salad, soup, rice
Delicious and just 9 euros!
Who said Japan is expensive!!!!

And because it was not enough, a big ice cream at cold stone.
And we even had the song!
Mine was chocolate, fudge, banana, cream
Tomorrow diet!!!!

In the streets of Fukuoka

Back to Fukuoka and a small street view.
Seen in front of canal city, the big shopping center

Seen inside, it could be me :-)

Also inside this is a shop for dogs!

Yes yes for dogs and not babies!

Poor dogs or not?

Well I don't know ... next time I ask them!

On the way to tenjin

and this one too

Yes yes this is halloween soon, well in almost one month no?

Yep life is cool!

And after that hop in my favorite onsen for a rest!

Shimonoseki and Kokura

This was t a former english embassy now transformed in a place to visit with a restaurant
And rabbits everywhere :-)

After the rabbit the fugu fish, the one you die eating it if not well prepared

Here you have it, the transparent one
Not tried so far cause expensive and I think not so much taste...

But this is more tasty!!!
Scallops, shrimps and other delicateness

And sushi sushis, more fresh you cannot find!

The fugu again

and again of course :-) This is the emblem of the city!

After that some sumo fight in Kokura, this was the last day of the tournament right????

and a small sumo ???

And this is the futuristic view of Kokura

Even nicer with the old castle

And a mermaid like me :-)

Beppu

Beppu is one of my favorite place in Japan, because so many onsen!!!!
And some egg and sweet potato cooked in the steamed hot water, just delicious

Then there is a thermal park with many things to see.
In the first one some cute animals like a capihabara or something like that :-)

And look at this one, want to have him home!

and many different hot water

in this blue one they cook eggs!

I want to swim everywhere but just too hot and too dangerous...

They also grow some nenuphar and the flower smells extraordinary good!

Here some extremely hot mud bubble bath

And of course the devil, well it's hell bath!

Just so many different colors

 and shapes

and arghhh horrible crocodiles!!!

I need to go quickly in a foot bath to get calm!!!
There are many other there

And after all that I need a sand bath, well actually I am buried under hot sand
Really great and very healthy they say!

Nagasaki

Today direction Nagasaki and directly a Chinese feeling with this dragon dance!

After this good start direction the real chinatown

and some funny shops

but the most important is the food of course! This lunch was delicious especially this meat sandwich, first time and so goooood!

About these pickles I am not sure if they are so goooood :-)

Waiting for the tram to come :-)

In Nagasaki there was a dutch settlement and you can still see some of their colonial buildings

Nagasaki is also a city with a lot of bridges, this one is the famous spectacle bridge

And here a list of all the bridges!
We have seen only a few of them...

a funny buddha on the way

And the famous Nagasaki tram, very small, very old, very full, very moving but with aircon and bringing you where you want!

This is the peace memorial statue, pointing to the sky were the bomb fall

And here you can see the date of the bomb...

and to finish as started in a chines way a mango smoothie with tapioca, was just delicious!!!!
