This is at a beauty salon near the jietai base in kengun. The shop renovated (in japanese, you say refo-mu suru) but because there was a swallow's nest, they built around it. I thought it was kind of sweet, what do you think?

What I want for Christmas
I go to a linguistics reading circle at Seinan Daigaku and the teacher there had this espresso maker. Cool! I really want one, but the cheapest version is 30,000 yen! Ouch! However, if you want to buy me one for Christmas, please do!

omiyage suggestions 2
This is a kimono store in Kengun near my house. It's very close to Kuwamizu densha stop and just past the Baskin Robbins 31 on Higashi Bypass. While I don't recommend buying a kimono for your host family (too expensive!) there are a lot of cheaper things that are very Japanese and very interesting. For example, this shop has small bags for women with kimonos that are very pretty and they have also had paper umbrellas for about 1000 yen. There are several kimono stores around town, so go in and see what they have!
Here is a map to tell you where this store is

This always bothers me. Every bookstore that has "book" sounds like the store only has one book! Why would anyone go to a bookstore that only has one book?
how to eat sanma, baby!
I went to Fukuoka on Saturday for a linguistics reading circle at Seinan daigaku and stopped at my favorite restaurant, Masafuku （正福） which has great great great fish and their special of the day was my favorite, sanma. As you can see, I love sanma, even the naizo (which I save for last) Masafuku is in the Tenjin Core building. There two, one on the 7th floor and another in the B2 floor. Though both are good, the B2 floor is small and cozy. Check it out!
