South to Fukuoka - Weekend Trip

I've been absent from my blog posts a bit, but I wanted to share some great pics I got from my trip to Fukuoka in late November.  November was a big travel month for me as I went to both Kansai area and then later to Fukuoka.  Fukuoka is located in Kyushu, the southernmost main island of Japan.  It's a port city and closest to Korea.  I spent 3 days there with a friend and, despite the short time, I really enjoyed it.

Kansai Trip - 5 days, in brief

With my return home looming on the horizon (3 months to go!), I finally got around to using some of my vacation days (I only have 5 precious days).  I used a few to take a trip down to Kansai area.
