My favorite place in Fukuoka is Ohori Park. Located downtown, it's an easy escape from the city. Two islands in the middle are connected with a small brige, and each has its own bridge back to land. Koi and turtles play along shore as children feed them. Locals jog, walk, and bike around the oval track that surrounds the park. In late summer, all of this happens under the chrous of the cicada.
While many flock to the mall or underground shopping arcades to beat the heat, a few go to the park. I found cool black stone benches in the shade on the islands and napped away the afternoon heat.
Fuk U Ok a? Nice park. Interesting name. Great pictures.
Dad, repeat after me: "Fu-ku-o-ka"!
I'm going to Bangkok for 4 days. I have some people to visit and my friend Raymond has some friends from the US meeting us there. I just want to shop and eat and get outta Seoul and ride a water taxi. Gotta be back at work on Thursday so that's why we didn't bother to plan for Phuket or any other destinations. We are going to take a boat trip to the ancient capital of Thailand one day though. Hope you two have a good trip..hope you aren't flying One Two Three Go or whatever that airline was called! When you get back BEERS!! I will come to HONGDAE! What are you guys doing the weekend of the 13th of Oct?
I just finished downloading PBREAK I'm glad you didn't tell me anything about the plot..I want to love it still.
Curious as to what lens you used for the bird shot. I can never quite get close enough with my 150mm.
(PS - I'm back, baby!)
