The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

To make the most of my three-month bus pass due to expire soon, the other day I launched a half-day excursion to taste the Scandinavia as much as I could.

Ikea is the first place I think of when I hear the word “Scandinavia”. For me it is simply impossible to go there by bike or on foot. But this bus pass allowed me to visit there for the first time in my entire life.  I took a two-hour bus ride to there.

On my way, I came across a couple of exotic place names.

I felt being outside of my territory, and get more excited.

On arrival, as I do at every airport I step on, I had a snack before exploring.

This is my first Scandinavian meal. The meatballs were colder than I expected—probably because Sweden is so cold that food can get cold quickly!! 

Regarding the Scandinavian shopping, it was a bit tricky for me to find anything useful for my everyday life…I guess you need a special talent to make your room stylish and quality-looking with these things…Sadly, I don’t seem to have such a gift myself… To be honest, it should be easier for me to shop these kind of things at Sakoda or Nitori or even GooDay.

For what did I spend two hours on bus? To have a reheated frozen food (which was cold)? 

Little disappointments are one of those things when you travel abroad, yeah?

Having enjoyed a full of Scandinavian air (without having to speak any foreign language), I headed to my next destination, H&M.

Again, having bought nothing, I just enjoyed the air of Sweden and some fluff getting into my nostrils. 

Strange… I certainly enjoyed shopping at H&M 10++ years ago. 

Is it time to admit that I can not get along with Scandinavia?  Or am I just too old to appreciate Scandinavianess on this aspect?
