The flight from Shanghai to Fukuoka is only 1.5 hrs - how different can they be?
Japan is very much different from China.
The Japanese don't use street numbers and names in their addresses. I knew this. I've known it for years and always thought "hehe, crazy Japanese". It never dawned on me before how that would affect me. How the hell do these people find anything? Seriously. Apparently, "over that way - past the bar then look for the Family Mart - it's near there" is a formal fucking postal address in Japan.
Everything you've ever heard about Japanese toilets is true. Lavatory based weirdness abounds.
Also, I noticed the last batch of photos I posted was in low res. If I were a less lazy person I'd fix that right away.
