Dazaifu.

Last weekend Chris invited me to go spend time with him and his friend Yukiji. We met up with Yukiji's sister and her fiance for some delicious soba (noodles). They were served cold because it was a hot day. The restaurant was really nice, and everything I ate was seriously yummy.

During lunch it came to Yukiji's attention that Chris and I hadn't been to Dazaifu yet, so she took it upon herself to remedy that. I didn't know much about it, but I was eager to go do some sightseeing. There is a famous shrine there that students go to to pray for luck passing exams. I just prayed for luck that my students would be good! It was really beautiful there, as I find most of Japan to be.
