Today we went to some hotsprings near the mountains on the edge of the city. Men and women go to separate pools and there are no bathing suits required. I had a very enjoyable dip in the 40 degree springs; it felt very relaxing and I wanted to go straight to sleep afterwards.
Litter in Fukuoka - well hardly seen any at all. Its a very clean city.
As for homeless, there have been a couple so far. Today there was a demonstration in support of the homeless outside one of the main train stations. As we passed, the person with the mike switched momentarily to English to let us know what was going on.
There have been moments where I have felt a little isolated due to lack of understanding of the language and being of different colour. Its a good thing. Makes me understand what a lot of foreigners feel like in my home city.
We visited a friend`s garden today - he had very healthy looking cabbages, onions and beans, and we came away loaded down with vegetables for supper.
that's all for now.

Sounds like you're having an amazing time! I'm enjoying your travel stories. Keep more coming when you can. Scribblers was at Mayne this weekend and we were saying how we wished you were still in our group!
Wynn, many thanks. Having a great time. Will post more when I can.
Jude, the city sounds rude but you just say something like Fukowka and you:re away to the races.
