Trip to Miyazaki, Japan. June 2006, Post 1

I went to Miyazaki, Japan in June 2006 for a meeting. Miyazaki is a small coastal town on Kyushu Island in South Japan. This was my second trip to Japan, the first one being to Tokyo/Kyoto/Yokohama in July 2003. Photos of the first trip will probably get scanned after retirement :)

We went to a great Chinese restaurant, very cheap and great food. For about $80, we could order enough great food to feed 6 people. Of course, there were only three of us, and half the food went uneaten. This is a photo of the food after we finished.

 

At this place, we ordered an interesting type of egg, Peking duck egg. The “white” of this egg is a transparent dark brown, like stained glass. And it was quite tasty too.

 

Miyazaki has one famous attraction, an indoor swimming pool at Seagaia. When I visited, the tourist season was low, so the place was almost empty. It’s one of those only-in-Japan kind of things. This place has a giant surf making machine too.

 

And finally, a nice sunset that I caught from my hotel .
