DYA717 Japan Dan's Sanin Sanyo Oct 30, 2017 Sshimonoseki
DYA717 Oct 30, 2017 Shimonoseki Ganryu Island Mojiko
6:30 a.m. breakfast at the Toyoko Inn. Then hoofed it to the Kaikyo Yume Tower. I got carded. The young lass at the ticket counter spoke something in Japanese, figured I couldn’t understand and point at something with the number 65 on it. I kinda guessed she told me if I could prove I was 65 & older I could get a discount, so I pointed at my face! That didn’t work so I pulled out my passport and I got a 50% discount. I paid 300-yen instead of the usual 600-yen for adults. Nice view of the city, harbor and the Kanmon Strait and bridge which connects Honshu to Kyushu. Continued on my BURA-BURA, walked past the aquarium and saw a sign for the ferry. I paid for all-day pass – 900-yen. I first went across to Mojiko which is on Kyushu and told or tried to explain I wanted to go to Ganryu Island. The guy pointed me to the next ferry coming in so I got on it, went back to Shimonoseki side, stayed on and it went to Ganryu Island next. This island is the where Miyamoto Mushashi fought Sasaki Kojiro for the title of #1 swordsman of Japan, in 1612. Musashi retired after this and wrote his famous Book of Five Rings. Sasaki had the longest sword among samurais in those days so Musashi, usually a 2-sword fighter, whittled a long boat oar and used it to fend off the long sword and beat Sasaki. Next ferry took me to Mojiko so I said, heck, why not BURA-BURA on the Kyushu side a bit. Nice town. Saw this curry restaurant which was an old ship. Really popular with school kids on their lunch break so I had to wait a bit. The thing was rocking a bit and I was worried about getting seasick while eating! Had the best yaki curry/rice I’ve ever had! Back to Shimonoseki side and walked about the fish market. About 80% of Fugu (blowfish/puffer) go through this market. Then back to the Hotel. My room wasn’t ready yet so I walked around the block and poked my head in a place that had a beer sign. 2 ladies immediately said “irasshyai” – nabbed again! So I went in. An elder couple was in there singing away on the karaoke system. Had a couple of beers and figured my room should be ready by then. Dropped off my brochures and went BURA-BURA around the Green Mall, a small area also known as Korean Town or Little Busan. Most of the shops were already closed this late in the afternoon and it was a tad too early for the restaurants. OK, so no kim chee right now so I continued BURA-BURA and ended up at the train station. Walked into this restaurant and pointed/ordered what I thought was okonomiyaki. The guy turned on the teppan yaki grill on my table and placed a bowl of raw ingredients in front of me. I looked at him like “what???”. He said something like “hey, bub, you gotta cook it yourself!”. I guess I still was confused so he took the bowl to the counter griddle and cooked it for me! : ) kekekeke Was ONO!
DYA717 Kyushu, Japan Nov 11, 2016 Back to Hakata then Yamaguchi BURA BURA
6:30 a.m. breakfast at the Hakata Eki Minami Toyoko Inn. Then “L” and I went to th airport. Of course was early so I had to watch da bags while “L” went shopping around the airport stores! Geez, what a bad disease shopping is! OK, so, almost before boarding time, we got to the counter and got the boarding pass. Phew! Close call! I said my Aloha/Sayonara and then went back to Hakata station. I had one more day on my JR railpass so I thought since I’m tired, why not just go for a ride around and rest on the train. I went to Shin Yamaguchi station (36-min) and then transferred to the local train to town. When I got to town I went to the tourist info counter and got some hints on what to see but then I was too tired and also running out of time. So, I went jump back on the train and got back to Hakata. I walked around the Hakata station and saw all these TV cameras around. So I went ask one of those guys (he couldn’t speak English and pushed me off to another guy) and then I found out that they had a train crash and were waiting for people to arrive. I guess they were going to interview them. I went underground and ran into this famous ramen shop called Ichiran or something like that! Twas in the underground Sun Plaza shopping mall. I got seated at what looked liked a study carrel and privacy side walls. What? They didn’t want me splash and slurp soup onto the other diners? : )) I asked da waiter for help and he gave me a form to fill out. I chose STRONG FLAVOR, ULTRA RICH FLAVOR, THE MOST GARLIC (1 CLOVE), A LOT OF GREEN ONIONS, WITH SLICED PORK, RED SAUCE #2 (it went 0, ½, 1, 2, or….. you choose). I chose #2 and the Noodles EXTRA FIRM. Wow, talk about the super max, ultimate ONOLICIOUS ramen! This bugger was it! Uuuuuuuuuu, ONO, ONO, ONO! I’m not trying to make y’all envious but just trying to relate my true feelings (heh, heh, heh, or kekekekeke). Every store I stopped by had Xmas stuffs. If a saw a clerk I would comment “eh, sistah, kinda early for Xmas yeh?” They only laugh or I guess went giggle hee hee hee!
Then I went BURA-BURA some more and walked past one interesting spot. 2 days ago, they had something like one sinkhole and the street went drop down. This was 1 block in from the Hakata station and 2 blocks from my hotel. Wow, spooky! Then I went looking for my hotel and ended up back at the train station. So I went into the the bus station building. Went up to the top which was restaurant row! I stopped by for a coupla glasses of red wine. Not bad. Then I went down the escalators and ran into one DAISO. I asked da wahine, eh sistah, you get sake drinking set? Of course she never understand what I was asking but after a few hand motions lifting imaginary sake cups, grunts, and basic kindergarten Japanese, I told her I would like to look at stuffs to drink sake from! Then I asked how many items would make a set! After about 5 minutes of hemming and hawing, she said weeeeeeeell, maybe 2 cups and 1 sake warming container. Well, at least they make a nice display! OK, go look at the video. They had plenty combos for you to configure a set for yourself AND only 108-yen (tax included) per item! Amazing and sooooooooo cheap! And then I looked at my watch and it said 5:30 p.m., figured it was soooooo late, and so I went back to my hotel and relaxed while writing junks for you folks to read! Kekekekeke
Oh yeh, some of you wondered about Autumn. Kyushu is going to be the last (next to Okinawa) where the leaves turn fall colors. If you look closely at the video, you’ll see areas where the tree are starting to turn colors.

SUMMARY
=======
Taipei (; Hokkien POJ: Tâi-pak), officially known as Taipei City, is the capital and a special municipality of the Republic of China. Sitting at the northern tip of the island, Taipei City is an enclave of the municipality of New Taipei City that sits about 25 km (16 mi) southwest of the northern port city Keelung. Most of the city is located in the Taipei Basin, an ancient lakebed. The basin is bounded by the relatively narrow valleys of the Keelung and Xindian rivers, which join to form the Tamsui River along the city's western border.The city proper is home to an estimated population of 2,704,810 (2015), forming the core part of the Taipei–Keelung metropolitan area, which includes the nearby cities of New Taipei and Keelung with a population of 7,047,559, the 40th most-populous urban area in the world—roughly one-third of Taiwanese citizens live in the metro district. The name Taipei can refer either to the whole metropolitan area or the city proper.
Taipei is the political, economic, educational, and cultural center of the Republic of China and one of the major hubs in East Asia. Considered to be a global city and rated as an Alpha City by GaWC, Taipei is part of a major high-tech industrial area. Railways, high-speed rail, highways, airports, and bus lines connect Taipei with all parts of the island. The city is served by two airports – Taipei Songshan and Taiwan Taoyuan. Taipei is home to various world-famous architectural or cultural landmarks, which include Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, Hsing Tian Kong, Lungshan Temple of Manka, National Palace Museum, Presidential Office Building, Taipei Guest House, Ximending, and several night markets dispersed throughout the city. Natural features such as Maokong, Yangmingshan, and hot springs are also well known to international visitors.
In English-language news reports the name Taipei often serves as a synecdoche referring to Taiwan's national government. Due to the ambiguous political status of Taiwan internationally, the term Chinese Taipei is also sometimes pressed into service as a synonym for the entire country, as when Taiwan's government representatives participate in international organizations or Taiwan's athletes participate in international sporting events.
