博多 - Hakata

For Golden week, three of my friends and I went to Hakata, which is on the island Kyushu (just south of the biggest island for those of you who don't know what Japan looks like) and here are some pictures from that experience.

This was my bento on the Shinkansen.  It was good but one of the onigiri (riceballs) had baby shrimp in it, and I did not like.  
Outside the hotel room, they were practicing for matsuri (festival) that was going on the weekend we were in Hakata.
This is the biggest shopping mall in Hakata, and it is thus called Canal City (a river runs through it)
And there was a Murakami sculpture!
And a pineapple bacon hamburger (I ate one, it was good) 
The beach (it was a little cold)

This is the bus stop.  Please note the grass growing out of the top.
Near the bus stop...
Shouldn't we all deserve to pick up the hotness of our choice?
Black sesame and Pumpkin scones, respectively, at the Muji cafe.
I don't know if you can tell what's going on here, but the hole closes if i push the thingy that my finger is one the other way.  
Hakata-style ramen!!  Only the BEST! (the chain of restaurants called Ippudo serves this style ramen, and it is soooooo good)
ウルトラマン (Ultraman) soda...
Hokkaido style ramen was also found... corn and butter... can't go wrong!
Oh, yeah.  And i saw Crows Zero II.  It was amazing.  The new characters are just as hot as Oguri Shun!!
