Artikel i DN. Verkar som att det blir svårt att få en ordentlig bit sake, wasabi, sushi och sashimi i framtiden. Inte för att jag tycker att man får så ordentlig fisk här i Sverige ändå, men det kan ju bli ordentligt med sorgset folk i Japan.

Får lite yoshinoya vibbar nu, när de skulle sluta sälja nötkött i sina gyuudon-skålar i och galnakosjukan i USA som ledde till nötköttsblockad. Folk köade för att få en sista bit ordentligt yoshinoya. Skulle ju kunna bli en liknande situation nu med folk som köar för att få en sista maguro-don

There is a new tourist bus in Fukuoka called the green line. It was introduced almost one year ago and seems like a really good idea for new tourists in Fukuoka! It costs 250yen to get on one time, and 750 for a one-day norihoudai pass. The bus stops are strategically placed on famous sights throughout the city, including Tenjin, Canal city and Fukuoka Tower.

The interior is completely different from the other “normal” buses. It has wooden and green design and it is definitely more comfy to sit in this bus for a longer time. There is also guidance in several different languages, including English and Chinese.

Me and my friends took the bus from Canal city to Fukuoka Tower and took a look at the city from up high. The only problem is that the green line bus stops quite early, so we had to take a normal bus back to Tenjin.

IMS, or InterMediaStation, is a shopping and culture center in central Tenjin. It is accessible from Watanabe dori and from the Tenjin Chikagai. The building is round and very easy to spot. The first couple of floors in the building is all about shopping. There are several different brands, and be sure to check out the first floor for a 300-yen shop and an International Plaza with various international products (including Swedish!).

Higher up you can find car retailers, so if you are looking to buy a car this is perfect for you I have no idea how they got the cars up to those floors in the first place, but that’s just a part of the magic I guess.

In the middle of the building there are usually some activities or commercial of some sort, and in February there is a “Love Festa” here where you can write your secret love message to your special someone.

It might be good to know that there also is an “International Forum” in IMS, so if you are foreign visitor, or want to make friends with foreigners this is the place for you.
