Fukuoka×Copenhagen
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Fukuoka uses the JPY (¥) and Copenhagen uses the DKK (kr). Language shifts too — Japanese in Fukuoka, Danish in Copenhagen. Be careful behind the wheel: Fukuoka drives on the left, Copenhagen on the right.
