Luiz and I went to Fukuoka, Japan over the Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving type holiday) break. We were only there for about 2.5 days but, it was fun.
Anyway, here are the pictures.
Ryuguji Temple and Cemetery
This shrine was built to honor a mermaid that was supposedly found nearby. Her body is supposed to be buried in the cemetery.
Kushida Shrine
Built in 757 AD
Hakata Folk Museum & Garden
RoboSquare
(The Japanese Really Like their Robots.)
Robotic Seal - It is used to provide companionship to lonely, elderly people. It is a little creepy because it acts like a little pet. You can pet it and it responds like a kitten would. The pacifier thing is actually a charger.
Robotic Dog - It acts like a puppy.
Robot that is easily customized.
This robot is commonly used in malls. It cleans (notice the duster things on its hands). Also, you can ask it for directions to stores and it will will give you directions and project a map onto the floor for you.

I would like to get my hands on a few of those robots. I bet they cost many hundreds of thousands of yen.
