We toured around Terminal 3, taking pictures before our flight.At about 1am on 11th of November, we set off to Japan.

After 5 hours on the plane, we arrived at our destination – Fukuoka International Airport.
This is how the city looks like.






















































Our 1st visit was the Fukuoka Science Museum which showcases exhibits relating to the different sciences like physics, chemistry and biology. It was interesting as there were a lot of hands on for us to try.













Using the advance technology, Li Zhen and Li Hua are having fun with the video animation.


Lunch time – local Japanese cuisine.







The legendary Blood Pool. The reason why the pool is red is due to the red clay found there.













Dragon Pool. These pool will create a fountain like effect where water will move up against gravity, forming a spectacular phenomenon every30-40 minutes and each time it could last for 15 minutes.

After the visit to the dragon pool, we head off to the Mud pool. Japanese claimed that bathing in mud is good for the skin and diabetes. While some is bathing in the Mud Pool, the others wet to the mountain side to enjoy the scenery.

Some small private hot springs at the area.
