Fukuoka

Once the bike was settled, it was time for a short ride to Khaosan Hostel in the Hakata area. The road to the hostel was quite straight and keeping in mind that its been awhile since I cycled on the road, I decided to go by the pavement. Pavements here are quite wide (from what I’ve seen so far) so it was a fairly easy ride to the hostel.

However, the bags on my bike were really heavy， and it made the bike a little hard to control. I guess I’m also a little rusty riding a fully loaded bike, so it’ll probably get better as I go along… hahaha….

Reaching the hostel, I locked the bike downstairs (hopefully its still there tmw!) and put my stuff in my dorm room, shared with 7 others. All the people here are really friendly! And I even met this guy,　Toshio, who offered to cook dinner! Hahaha…. I actually had planned ｔｏ go out for some ramen, but since he offered, I shan’t turn him down…. Lol

After dinner, we went up to the roof to relax a little. Think I’ll probably give sightseeing a miss since the owner of the hostel said there’s nothing much to see in Fukuoka, unless you’re into drinking and clubbing (of which I obviously am not into!)

Guess I’ll have an early night tonight and start off early tmw for Fukutsu City!
