The Least Useful Guide to Fukuoka

I spent today for no one, only for myself.

9:00 Had my hair cut for the first time this year.

10:30 Had a break with buns and coffee.

                                 590 yen in total

Found a cluster of cafes near the Sunny Kego branch. A pleasant surprise,

Off to a cinema.

11:30 Got to the cinema, newly opened in 2020．

Here I got a six-month membership for 600 yen, which allowed me to see a show for 1,000 yen on certain days of the week.

Since the regular fee is 2,000 yen, I think this 600yen can be justified even if I visit there just once. 

This is the first time for me to see a film in a cinema since 2020.

The film itself was neither very persuasive nor very moving (although the casting should be very correct in terms of anti-agism and anti-lookism). But sitting alone in a dark room, completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, immersed in another world on the screen, is a relaxing experience in itself, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even better, there were only a handful of women in the screening room. It felt like a private screening for those who must have been very taken with The Rose of Versailles in the early 70s.

13:45 Left the cinema and went to Tenjin to get some meat and fish and had a late lunch at Iwataya.

A genmai onigiri stuffed with deep-fried koya dofu  for 350 yen and a can of blended green tea for 140 yen, in attempt to take some healthy-looking food.

Oh, and on the way to Iwataya, I stopped by Junku-Do bookstore and got some books to read in bed, free magazines and a new ball-point pen.

                           Souvenir of the day!

15:15 got a bus home.
