Autumn

'Tis a pretty picture around uni, the leaves are turning bright red and a blazing yellow. Haven't been up to too much, but I went to a Japanese beach in the day finally! In Wakamatsu.
There aren't any natural beaches around here, the coast has been filled and developed to incorporate all the trade with Asia.

I must say it doesn't smell like the sea... the sand is darker and coarser here.


Hibiki Green Park is one of tourist spots in Kitakyushu. They change the flower displays according to season:



'Cosmos' - an autumn flower that blooms in autumn in this area:

A hall and an observatory ride that goes round and round

The Tanaka mother and daughter drove me around that day ^^ so nice... that's the daughter. We 'teach' english to them.

Another awesome event that happens in autumn at KIT is the school festival! Koudaisai! All the students into groups from their labs or clubs. It's a fully 100% student organised event, from the rent and setting up the stall to disposal of garbage... the Let's english speaking circle made mini burritos and mini kebabs.
