I've arrived on the non-island island just off the coast from #Fukuoka today.
The first thing I saw was a church without walls.
For the foreseeable future, I shall devote all necessary energy to attempt to unsee this oddity.

PPP, or 'Post-Plonking Procedures'- It's a common mechanical engineering term (apparently).
We also learn today that when clutching at straws, first ensure that the straws are, in fact, present.

Something tells me that the #Fukuoka City Council has bypassed its water meter.
Even weirder stuff in this city:
A one-hole golf course,
four-wheel steering on its private cars.
I think that more-or-less covers today's discoveries.

Yesterday I spent the whole day marvelling at what I now know is the "Island Tower Sky Club Tower" (name is weirder than its design).
Today I discovered an equally weird apartment block- also designed by an architect with a triangle fetish.

Some folk suggests 'hoarding' is an illness. Obviously it is, in fact, a carefully choreographed valuable collection that is yet to be fully categorized.
