Happy 2 Month Anniversary

For our 2 month anniversary in Japan, Callie and I went to a puppet show in Kasugabaru.

Kasugabaru was about an hour travel away from the I-House. We caught the subway to Tenjin then the Train to Kasugabaru. Then we had to walk to the theatre, it was a pretty town surrounded by mountains.
The puppet show itself was very amusing. Watching three guys operate a 4 foot puppet onstage was new for me. I didn't understand a word, but it was enough to watch the puppets and the musicians. After awhile I started to make my own story lines so I wouldn't fall asleep to the weird noises of the narrator.

Afterward we went to Mos Burger for a little slice of home. I had a delicious burger, but it tasted a little too sauageish for me.

Going back to the station we saw this beautiful looking building that was out of place, I wanted it to be a castle. We got closer and we figured out the name, Royal Chester Fukuoka. The plague said "Thoroughly versed in English traditions and history, Royal Chester Fukuoka boast sincere connections with their surroundings through commitment to the culture unique to each city. Royal Chester takes pride in valuing old fashioned romance and grace, yet strives to provide contemporary high-quality weddings. Let the joy of a lifetime together begin here at Royal Chester." So yay! you can have weddings here!
