We spent the night in Busan, where we looked around a small tourist area that was right by the train station. My camera battery died so I don't have a lot of Japan pictures... (Trevor has most of them on his blog.)
We only had one night so we didn’t get to see very much, however we still managed to get to a bar where Trevor and the other teacher that was with us, Catharine, did some Karaoke. I wasn’t quite brave enough to do it myself, just then.
In the morning we caught the Ferry over to Fukuoka, Japan and headed straight to the Korean embassy. After which we were able to explore the city. We first went to Canal City, which is a GIGANTIC mall, did a bit of shopping and then left to see some more of Fukuoka. Our Hotel was in a downtown area so we were close to a lot of ‘Soap Girl’ shops. For dinner we ate at a Yatai, which is like a street vendor that you can sit at, and had some Ramen, a REALLY good noodle dish. While we were eating, a Japanese man approached Trevor and I and asked if he could take our picture, of course we said yes!!! And took a picture of him as well. Trevor even got his picture taken with him. (www.travelintrev.blogspot.com)
At nighttime, Trevor and I went out exploring some of the smaller side streets. We found mostly restaurants and bars but also a few arcade places. These arcades were about 4 stories tall, each floor having different types of games on it. There were entire floors dedicated to claw games (the ones where you control the giant claw to try to pick up a prize). Trevor got pretty good at it and won a big Snoopy for me… awww.
It was a Tuesday night, so the streets got pretty quite around 10-11 o’clock, so there wasn’t too much excitement going on. We did not get to experience too much Japanese culture because we only really had the one night to explore.
The next day we picked up our visa’s and after a little bit more shopping, we headed back to the Ferry, and headed home.
