FUKUOKA - NAGOYA

i left FUKUOKA on the shinkansen and stopped over for a night in NAGOYA before coming back to TOKYO. all i am thinking about two days later is how good the ramen was. it's world renowned as HAKATA RAMEN, and i must say it is the illest bowl of soup you could buy - on the street. i actually felt so compelled that i orderd a second bowl. also, when i was there i kept telling my cousin how much it reminded me of the bay area and then when i saw that it was sister cities with OAKLAND it all made sense. its on the west coast of japan and the city goes much slower compared to TOKYO, which feels more like NEW YORK. these are some random shots of my second day in the city and the train ride to NAGOYA.
