Fukuoka Custom Car Show 2010
Feb 21st
Stopped by the Fukuoka Custom Car Show yesterday and snapped a few pictures. The show was much smaller and less “flashy” then car shows in the past. I guess the economic conditions are really bad in the custom car industry. After talking to the “Pako D” from Uras, I found out that Sunday had a much larger crowd than Saturday. The show had drift cars, VIP cars, old school cars, vans, exotic cars, remote control cars, and motorcycles. Another sign of the economic conditions was the lack of “Booth Babes”! There were very few at the show.

Indian Food in Fukuoka
Dec 25th
There is a great little Indian restaurant just out side of Fukuoka City in Imajuku. The name of the place is Sapuna (サプナ今宿福岡). I have been to the restaurant twice and have added it to the Fukuoka Talk list of great places to eat. If you get a chance and you can make it out to Imajuku, I highly recommend it.
Here are some pictures of the food we ordered. I am a big fan of Naan, and their Naan was excellent, especially the Garlic Naan!!
Their phone number is in the picture, but just in case you can read it, it’s 092-806-6024.

Fukuoka Pictures: Yakitori
Jul 18th
Yakitori in Tenjin on Oyafuko Dori (Street). It’s the one on the right side of the street
across from Mos Burger. Great little place, but don’t forget you pay a premium to
have Yakitori in Tenjin. There are cheaper places elsewhere. We had a blast and spend about
2500 each including a couple beers.

A friend snapped this the other day and I thought it was pretty cool. “Farming in Japan” is the title.
Apple Store in Tenjin Fukuoka, Japan
May 22nd
Not sure if most of you know or not but Fukuoka is lucky enough to have it’s own Apple Store!! The Apple Store in Fukuoka is located in Tenjin, which is basically the shopping district. Tenjin is where everything happens! Great Shopping, great food, great drink, great people watching, and a lot of other stuff. I had to make a quick trip down there to buy a new power cord for my MacBook since I left the other one at one of the schools I work at, and I didn’t have time to go get it. It was one of those days when you have a lot of free time and need to get a lot done, but don’t want to have to “stop by the office” if you know what I mean.
