One of the cool things about Fukuoka is that it features a nice beach. It's looking a bit "Italian riviera" which is funny, but also offers some relaxed Jamaican style beach bars, so pretty cool mix. It's about 6 subway stops from school, so ideally located to do some afternoon studies in a nice environment or play some beach volleyball or go for a swim to relax. We often sit on the terrace of either "Mamma mia" or the other beach restaurant and study, slurping iced coffee with some reggae music in the background. We had some bad luck with the weather lately unfortunately and had to flee inside, go outside as soon as the waiters had dried the seats, flee inside again when it started to rain again... From the terrace you can also observe t
he beach nicely. Crazy Borat-types wearing thongs, dogs dressed in life-saving jackets and other gadgets, girls staggering in their too high high heels, etc. Today we saw two guys and first said like "whooo", but then we saw their backs featuring the same large tatoo covering the entirety of their back. From what we heard they should be Yakuza then (Japanese mafia)... So there's always something interesting to see. Or to hear like the "church" bells from Marizon.

One beach is reserved for jetskiing and beach volleyball. The weekend before last a beachvolleyball tournament was held on Momochi. We had 
played with a group from school before, but we were really quite bad. The guys from school clearly had an advantage in terms of height, and that should be a big one in volleyball. But the Japanese guys were just playing much better and we totally sucked.

It's eaten instead of icecream and consists of crushed ice which is poured different types of sirup over. There are also two nice little shop selling beach wear, flipflops and so on. Really feels like holidays going to Momochi...
