This is the world’s biggest bronze statue, over 300 tons. It is just around the mountain from the Corbetts. for more info about The reclining buddha see JapanPrayerNetwork.com

This is one of the first (if not the first) shinto shrine- just a few blocks from the Corbett's home.

One way to find a shinto shrine is to look at the a old large tree. When you find one, a shrine is probably there. Hover over the tree picture below to really see how large it is. (By the way there seems to be more shrinese here than there are bars and Churches put together in the states.)

A few day ago I spent some time with Jonathan and Lori Corbett in thiar small apt. (5th floor NO elevator). They took me around the town.

This is a mall that is under the city. Imagine downtown Chicago having a large mall under it,

How many of you have bought a melon lately? How would you like to pay $130.00 us. This is the price of an average melon.

I have been using a little Japanese, Sashin Ii desuka, means “Can I take your picture”. So I’ve been using it every were. The problem is, I don’t know if they say no. Here’s a few pics, I think they said no, but it was to late.

Look at this pic notice that there are two sets of twins.

This pic is fun. Look at the kids; they are playing with a statue.

Ok, here’s a story… Bro. Corbett and me were walking on one of the bays and as we went to past there was this fishing family having a few “drinks” and eating lunch. The man with the pink bandanna offered one of his daughters to me in marriage(girls in red or in gray). No, I’m not bringing anyone back.

One night Sharon and I went out to see what it is like in the city at night. Fukuoka is known for their Ramón noodles. Just at dusk all these carts with fold out restaurants line the streets. These restaurants pop up all around the city.

We stopped at one of these stands and ate. All I can say is Asian white castles.

Below is the red light district- there are men stand at the doors.

On Friday we visited a friend of the Corbett’s that owns a nice restaurant. We had RAW fish and “many other things” uum... Dad you would have loved it.

Hey, my friend smilies/grin.gif

I'm just checking in on you. Wow! Great pictures. It is truely amazing how the Japanese culture is. Maybe we should have Jesus statues on every corner as a reminder that He's the Messiah? Many prayers for you. Please hug Sharon for me.
