The Next Weekend We didnt want to do anything that big so we decided to just go on a small adventure to a nearby area. We boarded the Train and got off at a random station. So our adventure took us to a place called Tentou (天道) which uses the characters for Sky and Road.

 We found a park like mountain ish area which seemed to have some interesting stuff so we headed that way. This was something located at the start of the path.

 Some more cool statues.

 Just a picture of the steep path leading towards.......

 This Tiny little hut like thing at the top of the mountain.

 And this post which hopes for peace on earth.

 Just some pictures of the view from the top.

 Some pretty pictures of sakura filling up the path.

 More Trees.

 There was also a slide up here too,  although it was closed off it was pretty cool. I believe it wouldve been a faster way down than walking back.



Plus a few more pics on facebook if want some more.

Dazaifu!

Last Weekend(14th) we decided to go to Dazaifu Tenmanguu、Which is one of the Shrines i think. It was pretty interesting they had a lot of stuff that i didnt understand hahaha.

 There was the main Shrine where most people would go to, and then around that are many many smaller ones.


We went to the main Shrine, tossed in some money and prayed. We went shopping in the local area for a bit and there was some pretty interesting things. We ate some food that was well-known in the area it was called Umegaemochi Which was just some mashed plum thing inside Mochi, regardless it was really nice XD.

(Photos, soon).

This Particular Grave is something like Graveyard of the Pens. Writers and Artists seem to come here to throw away their pens/ brushes I believe. Notice the Tombstone even has a Paintbrush on top.

This is the Main part where people come to toss money in and pray and there are a couple of shops that sell lucky charms on the sides too.

←This is the Entrance to the main Shrine.

Some mass gathering of Koi Fishy.

Grabbing the Horns seems to be what people do to this statue thingy.

Day Before Yesterday we went to get go Internet and a Phone so we would atleast have a form of Contact. So we got this portable Wifi which is pretty cool but at home its a bit dodgy because it requires placing the wifi next to the window.


The day After(Yesterday) We went Hanami (Flower Viewing), Although the weather was perfect it was a bit late cause the previous days the weather was a lil sucky so there wasnt a lot of Flowers left to see.

 Just some Trees at the Area we went for Hanami




 

 Hanami seemed like a simple picnic at first, but it is actually fairly Ceremonial. We all kinda sat around in a circle like in this picture and like many things started off with Introductions. I got slightly yelled at when i tried to drink from my cup first because we haven:t officially begun yet, so yeah it was quite the formal gathering.

 Here is one of the Bento things we brought to Hanami.

Thanks Duy for this trick, people were pretty amazed when I pulled it out XD.

3Days Ago* one of our friends we met from a Student Exchange at UTS decided to hold a welcome party for us after Uni!Sorry there are no photos I was lazy and forgot lol. The party was fun and met some interesting people XD. If you want to see some footage or photos go to Vicky`s Blog I will post a link to it here.

Also after the party I did the smartest thing and tried to ride home on my bike in the rain and that resulted in a couple of these 

So thats a short story on first injury here +D.

Then went home and played with a new puzzle I bought~

Was only 300 Pieces but might try do a 1000 one soon.

On the Weekend we caught a Train into Fukuoka! The Main City here, it was a really nice place and had pretty much everything. We caught a Train to Hakata and did a bit of shopping there。

Ate at a Ramen place in Canal City which was located on a floor with Ramen places from all over Japan. Best Lunch so far.

A bit about my uni so far.

Just the view of our bike ride / path otw to Uni.

The upper picture is our office/lab/w/e area. Were supposed to be here when not in class etc to do work and stuffs. We get our own PCs although they are old/slow can atleast skype/upload stuffs. The lower picture is the view from our room =).
