Downpour and Bugs

.
The weather has changed all of a sudden (just like in Holland I hear) with high temperatures and humidity. And it has started to rain. It's almost like those tropical rains a steady downpour for hours on end but here it goes on the whole day. On top of that the bugs are back and in droves. The mosquitos are few yet but a kind of green beetle has shown up and they're everwhere. They don't do any harm but make a racket flying around and hitting the lamps.

After a nice weekend in Fukuoka with Paul it was back to the old horrid university with it's decrepid teachers... can't wait to go back home and leave this place in order never to return.
We really had a nice time and apart from visiting my favourite Kushida shrine, eating ramen in Canal City, buying sporty goods for Paul and almost a very nice Issey Miyake jacquet for myself and drinking G&T's we didn't do much else.

Having left Paul at the airport on sunday I went back to Nagasaki by bus to come home to a hedonistic feast.. a dinner cooked by Mads and orchestrated by Rudy. Several courses and fingerfood and wine to start of with were laid out. The guests Kim, Alex and Femke (friend of Kim) and myself had a very delightful evening. Way to much food but this was a once in a ........ occasion.
Kudos Gentlemen!!
