14 December: Sakura-jima 樱岛 (Ibusuki 指宿, Kagoshima 鹿儿岛). Heading to board the ferry to go Sakura-jima:. This is an active volcano that 'erupts' many times within a day. We could see the emission of the fumes (ashes? From that tiny little mouth (from far). It's not that easy to differentiate what's cloud, and what's the volcano fumes. Amazing, it was an island that joined with the mainland after the eruption in 1914. One of the viewing gallery of the mountain. Sakurajima Volcano Research Center. This time...

Kyushu 九州行: My Thoughts 杂感。。。
http://lohky-kyushu.blogspot.com/p/my-thoughts.html
My Thoughts 杂感。。。 1) Seeing Light at the end of the Tunnel. Came across this phrase, the first time, in my previous context.

I could not quite understand what it meant except I knew that it's equivalent to what the chinese saying 脱离苦海.

For example, the thematically painted shutters of each stall. If slideshow is unavailable). From Japan Lifestyle Website. How to tour the market on your own. Return to MAIN Page.
