| Let's go to Fukuyama! |
We went to Fukuyama city (in Hiroshima prefecture) a few weeks ago to celebrate Wendy's birthday in style. I drove into Fukuyama, which made it my first trip out of the prefecture in the Guppy! I left the Guppy in a car park where you drive onto a suspended platform, and then it is whisked up to some storage place and it magically descends again at the end of the evening, at which point you back onto a lazy-susan and they spin you streetwards. Very fancy. Dinnner was at a funky izakaya (bar/restaurant), and drinks were at a gaijin bar called Zappa. Zappa had the type of energy and vibe that Red Moon aspires towards, yet never quite reaches.
 Birthday girl Wendy, Alex, and myself at Zappa.
 This Japanese chick was terrifying. She had a huge faux-fur cape on, and kept tottering into a table that had a lit candle on top. Oh, and she screamed a lot.

 With Chris-Yon-Joon, NY Sarah, and Dylan on our 3rd (or 4th?) trip to the combini-- Chris went back for a 2nd Coke-and-Commemorative-Yo-Yo specialty pack, and I continued to feed my new Cider Meets Condensed Milk addiction. The drink that's so wrong it's right... like Japan. It will be out of stock soon with the coming warm weather, so I am stockpiling it along with Shiro Q00. Beware the Safety Driver armed with White Cider...
 And if you are looking to play darts in Kurashiki... why not try One Knocker? |

| So wrong it's right. And then wrong. And then wrong again... welcome to the inaka. |
