- Japan has nine islands

- Fukuoka has amazing ramen and street food stalls

- It's close to Korea

- Simon and Martina met a lot of people from different backgrounds

- Overcoming language barriers and making friends was great

- Martina got food poisoning from tempura and the duo had 'second-degree' fun

- Simon and Martina were stuck in peak hour traffic while Marina really needed the bathroom - badly!

- Got home and had no gas or hot water

- Forgot to pay the gas bill before they went away for the weekend

- Second-degree fun because now they can look back and laugh at it
