■TripNotes
Spot1:Itoshima Peninsula
Itoshima Peninsula is 1 hour away from the center of Fukuoka. On these beautiful beaches you can enjoy barbecue and surfing. Amongst them, Sakurai Futamigaura is particularly known for its beautiful sunset.
If you go inland, you can go trekking into 1000 meters high mountains and witness stunning waterfalls. If you visit in the winter, don't forget to try the famous oysters at the Oyster House (Kakigoya).
Spot2:Hakata stalls
Speaking of gourmet, look no further than Fukuoka's street food. At night the town lights up with numerous food stalls frequented by both tourists and locals.
The food stalls don't just serve delicious food, but also create an ambiance to help interact with other people who have gathered. They are open from 6 pm until dawn where you can have Ramen, Yakitori, and other local dishes of Fukuoka along with alcoholic beverages and you can also spend time with the local people.
Spot2:Mojiko Retro
Mojiko, which prospered from coal export in the 19th century, still has many western style buildings that were popular at the time. It's a popular spot with over 2 million tourists visiting each year, and has retro buildings that are still being used as libraries, cafés and restaurants.
The town lights up at night and you can take an evening stroll while enjoying the sights of Mojiko port and the Kanmon Straits.
Food:Hakata Ramen
Fukuoka boasts of its Hakata Ramen. What makes this Ramen special is its thick pork bone soup stock. The pork bone is boiled at a high temperature for quite a long time so that the gelatin from the bone melts, making the soup thicker.
Taste the deliciousness of the thick pork soup mixed with Hakata style superfine noodles.

Clean Fukuoka beach survey, Fukuoka, Japan, September 1991
This clip features the first Clean Fukuoka beach survey organized by the Center for Marine Conservation (CMC) out of San Francisco, now named The Ocean Conservancy. The survey was instrumental in extrapolating the impact of river and ocean borne trash on Japan's beaches, and eventually help lead to changes in how local and national government dealt with the issue.
Clean Fukuoka had just finshed its second prefecture-wide beach clean up of Hakata-wan and the Genkai-nada, with over 7,000 participants. Featured in the clip are students from Kyushu University, local Boy Scouts, the Tsuri-kai, some English students and ESL staff.
The survey, or chosa in Japanese, took place at Nishi-no-Ura, on the border of Fukuoka-shi and Itoshima-gun. The otsukare party is at Sunset Beach, one beach west of the survey spot, an absolute must-visit watering hole if you ever stray in those contrays.
Clean Fukuoka helped establish Love Earth Clean Up Kyushu, a larger island-wide organization, which incorporated all seven prefectures and Okinawa and drew over 250,000 so called 'Gommi Busters' in 1992. Today the annual beach clean has spread to over 20 prefectures, parts of Korea, Shanghai, and enjoys over a million participants. It is rumored to be the largest environmental event in Asia.
The opening shot is of a children's book written about this subject by Tomonari Tsuneo, the Fukuoka City liason to Clean Fukuoka. It is titled kono gommi doko kara kitan daro, or where did this trash come from.

Nanking Massacre | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Nanking Massacre
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Nanjing Massacre, or Rape of Nanjing, was an episode of mass murder and mass rape committed by Japanese troops against the residents of Nanjing (Nanking), then the capital of the Republic of China, during the Second Sino-Japanese War. In the Postal romanization system used at the time, the city's name was transliterated as Nanking, and the event called the Nanking Massacre or Rape of Nanking.
The massacre occurred over a period of six weeks starting on December 13, 1937, the day that the Japanese captured Nanjing. During this period, soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army murdered Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants who numbered an estimated 40,000 to over 300,000, and perpetrated widespread rape and looting.Since most Japanese military records on the killings were kept secret or destroyed shortly after the surrender of Japan in 1945, historians have been unable to accurately estimate the death toll of the massacre. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East in Tokyo estimated in 1946 that over 200,000 Chinese were killed in the incident. China's official estimate is more than 300,000 dead based on the evaluation of the Nanjing War Crimes Tribunal in 1947. The death toll has been actively contested among scholars since the 1980s.The event remains a contentious political issue and a stumbling block in Sino-Japanese relations. The Chinese government has been accused of exaggerating aspects of the massacre such as the death toll, while historical negationists and Japanese nationalists go as far as claiming the massacre was fabricated for propaganda purposes. The controversy surrounding the massacre remains a central issue in Japanese relations with other Asia-Pacific nations as well, such as South Korea.Although the Japanese government has admitted to the killing of a large number of non-combatants, looting, and other violence committed by the Imperial Japanese Army after the fall of Nanjing, and Japanese veterans who served there have confirmed that a massacre took place, a small but vocal minority within both the Japanese government and society have argued that the death toll was military in nature and that no such crimes ever occurred. Denial of the massacre and revisionist accounts of the killings have become a staple of Japanese nationalism. In Japan, public opinion of the massacre varies, but few deny outright that the event occurred.
