Favorite thing: Kujuku Shima (99 Islands) 50-minute boat tour
Fondest memory: At Sasebo's Kashi-sambashi Pier, a large boat resembling
a sailing ship of long ago will take you on a tour through the 99 Islands, passing close by many. This one is named 'Submarine Island.'
(This official web site calls the tour dock area 'Kashi-sambashi,' which I do not understand because the word for 'pier' is 'sanbashi.')

Fondest memory: Love Tulips to distraction... these are simply one of the most beautiful flowers in the world!
Makes me happy just thinking about them :-D
For those of you who have the same passion about flowers as I do, you may want to check out at my Victoria (Canada) page.

Favorite thing: The reopening of the port to Westerners in the 19th century had Nagasaki flowered as a prosperous city. Many European-style buildings were built to accommodate the influx of foreigners. Notably the most famous being GLOVER HOUSE which was built in 1863 in the setting of Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly.
Glover House is the residence of Scottish entrepreneur Thomas Blake Glover (to the Japs he is known as Misaburo Kuraba). His ventures included coal mining, tea import house & the founding of a beer company (today's Kirin Beer).
Fondest memory: Pictured is the statue of Japanese prima donna Tamaki Miura, the lead lady in Madame Butterfly.

Favorite thing: Take the escalators to the houses of British traders. You will get to see houses filled with Victorian furniture, upright piano & grand old gramophone with big horn manufactured by the Nippon-Ophone Company.
Fondest memory: Discovered these beautiful cherry blossoms (sakura) just before we took the escalators. Charming, aren't they? I've got a soft-spot for these flowers which only blossom once a year lasting 2 weeks max!
