Bar Hopping

I had somen noodles for brunch at home with my parents. They were delicious. In the evening, I went to the 100 yen shop Daiso, where I bought sketchbooks, screws, and clips. They are much cheaper than they are in the Netherlands. My mother also asked me to buy 10 bottles of sparkling water, so I bought them. As usual, I went to the bar Nagomi, and then I came back home to have dinner with my parents. We had deep-fried vegetables and simmered pork belly. They were tasty. I felt bored, so I went out again. It was around 9:30 pm. I went to a bar called Kitaro. I only had beer and did not have any food. I met Hiraoka-san, so we said hello. Then I moved to the bar Ajia-tei. I met a man called Gan-chan (Iwami-san). I had heard his name at the bar Kitaro before. He must be a popular person. My bottle of shochu, Kannoko, was still being kept there. It was almost full, so I felt that I was getting good value from it, and I gave a drink to him and the bar owner, Oki-san. We talked a lot and ended up staying there until around 1:30 am. It was a fun night. However, I did not feel very drunk.
