I used to teach at Miruku Houikuen in Idekita, Nobeoka.  The kids there were a pleasure to be around.
You can rub the tummy of an overweight statue of a man that is located in front of Miyazaki Band in Nobeoka.  They say it is good luck to do so.  This man also has large earlobes, that's a sign of good fortune.
Ramen used to be delivered on 50 cc motorcycles.  I used to get Katsu kare- delivered to my apartment in Midorigaoka almost every night. 
The manholes in Nobeoka are made with a picture of two monkeys.  I haven't the slightest idea why there are two monkeys on the manholes.  If you can enlighten me, email me at ahner1@hotmail.com.
I've visited the execution grounds of Nobeoka a few times. 
I teach at Kawashima Youchien in Kawashima, Nobeoka on Mondays in the afternoon.  I always enjoy going there.
There have been a number of English teachers that have come to Nobeoka.  The ALT's  and the teachers in the JET program are always a pleasure to meet. 
I really enjoyed the Heisei Youchien graduation ceremony.  It's my seventeenth!
I often take my dog, Whitey Ahner to Nagahama beach in Nobeoka.  She enjoys her runs on the sand and her chasing the birds.
I sometimes whistle.  But, I am aware that people are watching me.  So, I often tone it down.  They say that white snakes will come toward one who whistles.
Japanese children love to play karuta, a card game where participants slap at the card being referred to by the teacher.
Mukabaki is a mountain that I still want to climb.  I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
There used to be an alien living in Kami Igata Cho, Nobeoka. But, he  moved to Tsurugaoka Cho, Nobeoka in late 2007.
I entered Miyazaki Byouin for four months in 2007.  It is an experience that I am still trying to live down.
