Japan Day 1

After being dropped off at the wrong ferry terminal and having to walk about 10 mins. to the correct one with our big bags, we boarded the super fast ferry to Fukuoka.


The ship kind of props up on 3 leg type things and shreds through the water getting us Fukuoka in 3 hours.

We head to our hotel, which was about the equivilant of $18 bucks, dropped our stuff and headed out.

We didn't make it that far this day as this large department store caught our I so we went in.


The store has 7 floors.


2 were stationary, household stuff, bags, Valentine's Day stuff and spa/bathroom type stuff.

We only made it through the 2 stationary floors which took over an hour.

We then needed to refuel so we walked around and found a Subway.

Yes, I'm in Japan and should be eating Japanese food but we don't have a Subway or anything Western in my city of Mokpo so I was VERY happy to eat there.

While walking we stumbled upon a shrine and passerbys (sp?) were showing their respects while on their way to work or wherever.



It was cute.


Then it was back to LOFT to conquer the other 5 floors.

I spent ALL of the money I had exchanged that morning at the ferry terminal which was suppossed to last me the entire trip.

Opps.

We had a great time in that store and by the time we were done were ready for the sauna at the hotel and a good sleep.
