signs can be misleading...
so this weekend i decided to go to the zoo. i decided to do it on the hottest day of the summer so far. that was prob a poor plan. i also forgot my water bottle in my room after i filled it. oops. anyway. the zoo was cool in a i cant read any of the signs kinda way. but a tiger is a tiger and an elephant is an elephant no matter what language the sign telling you that it is a tiger or elephant respectively is written in. anyway taht was cool i took lots of pictures and got very dehydrated. after that i was walking back to the bus stop when i saw a sign "kitakyushu palace 1.1 km->" this sign intrigued me because i was not aware there was a palace in kitakyushu. so what the hell i think, its less than a mile, ill go take a look, it sounds cool.
after walking about a mile and a half i get to thinking that something is not quite right... also i think im about to pass out from heat exhaustion. i track down a vending machine and drain an entire can of energy drink (poccari sweat, sounds gross but actually quite delectable) anyway now feeling a little less dead i trudge on cus goddammit im gonna find this palace. another half mile and i come to a drive way. "kitakyushu palace" the driveway declares itself. i look up at a red brick square building also claiming to be the palace. damn. its a community center/hotel/gallery/something thats def not a palace. anyway taht sucked, a lot. i muttered some profanity and tried to take a short cut back, it wasnt a short cut. i did find a haggen daas ice cream parlor on this not-a-shortcut so that worked out. anyway i went home and drank a 1.5 litters of said energy drink and passed out. next time i think i'll fight the urge to go exploring in ninety-degree weather.

Poccari Sweat is delicious. I drank it in Japan, and I drank it in Korea. In fact, it made my Korea trip slightly less dull, after seeing a bottle of Poccari Sweat in a gift shop at America Land.
And just out of curiousity, was Kitakyushu Palace this place?
yeah actually that is the place, you can understand my disapointment when id been expecting a japanese style palace?
