Getting Some Culture in Fukuoka

So, it was the final shindig in Fukuoka for the party people. We drove with Sarah in the backseat refereeing between us, all looking forward to our last catch up.

Some highlights:

* IMS Building - great jewellery shop, great reflexology shop, English bookshop
* Canal City - Dipper Dan's blueberry cheesecake crepe. It's worth going just for that. Plus they had a funky African festival and GAP. My nieces have the most Baby GAP in
Masterton.
* A drunken dinner at an Izakaya that served delicious Kiwifruit Sodas. I have no idea what
the alcohol in it was. Good greasy izakaya food (not quite Red Lantern standards though).
* The formation of "The Bakers" as arch-nemeses of "The Butchers" at above establishment.
Tom, Lee & Chris screaming "Dan" for no apparent reason...
* 2,000 yen for us girls to drink as much as we wanted at The Happy Cock.
* Looking over to find Tom engaged in various sketchy dance moves with J-girl.

The lowlights:

* Selene and Dan refusing to give a final Dancing Duo demonstration. How many times can the music "not be right"?
* Looking over to find Tom engaged in various sketchy dance moves with J-girl.

A special thanks to Selene for her parting gifts, see you in NZ!
Thanks Jo for all the gossip
Jimmy, the soccer team will flounder without you
Rei, your Baba Ganoush has earned you a place in my heart forever.

I'll be back in Fukuoka in 2 weeks before we fly out, gonna head to the Hard Rock Cafe....

  • What can I say, Dan and I have a particular genre of music that works best for us...unfortunately the music didn't have enough cheese for us at the Cock bar! And you've seen us dance, we need room to move!!
