But anyway, I stayed in a small town called Takefu-- and I attended Takefu Higashi Koukou... a really awesome down to earth place!

Takefu!
Know
exactly where that is. My husband`s family is in Echizen-cho, right along the coast. Whenever we visit, grandma makes us drive her over to シピィ...
Land is cheap and building regulations are loose in Fukui, so it`s really really common to have multiple houses on one plot. Faster and cheaper than tearing down one and building a larger one.
Fukui is known for having the happiest residents... And the most money. Mainly because there is nowhere to spend it. Even in Fukui-shi, Pia shut down so there isn`t really much left. Everyone sort of gives everyone else food, so you don`t have to spend much there... Plus because all the houses are so big and cheap, it`s really rare to not live with extended family so that`s even more money to save.
