Dear All Greetings from Fukuoka, the largest city on the island of Kyushu, and at just over 1.5 million people, the sixth largest in Japan.

Shame we miss each other
Would have been a pleasure to meet up with you in Japan, I have a feeling we would have had a great time together. Enjoy Korea too my friend, it's been a pleasure to read about your time in Japan!

Indeed a shame...
Indeed it is a shame that we have missed each other in Japan. I also believe we would have had a good time together. Still, I look forward very much to reading about your upcoming travels there. Just arrived in South Korea - so far it seems so different, but looking forward to exploring further.

Sadness over comes you
So glad you've found comfort and pleasure in Japan. A nice wrap up. I feel like you might go back some day. I'm glad you've enjoyed flitting around Japan on sonic trains. You've visited a dose of history and it seems to have left an impact. Travel is an amazing education. We always think we know about something but there is always more to learn.
