Cracking Another Tooth
I skipped breakfast because I still felt full. I left my sister’s house just before 3 pm. I found a cheap hotel for only €25, even though the price included both dinner and breakfast. It was a ridiculously cheap price, which seemed to reflect Japan’s declining economy. The hotel was located close to Hiroshima Station. I was able to check in at 3:30 pm. The hotel had a public onsen on the 15th floor, so it offered a nice view. I visited my regular yakitori restaurant, Torimasa. Since it was Friday, the place was packed. The owner said to me, “You have not changed at all.” They were doing well, but they were still wearing face masks. I wondered when they would stop wearing them. I returned to the hotel and had dinner. The main dishes were deep-fried horse mackerel and simmered pumpkin. It was not so bad. When I ate some mixed dried fish and nuts, I felt a sharp pain in one of my back teeth. After that, I brushed my teeth, and a small piece of the tooth fell out. It made me feel completely depressed and instantly sober. I have had so many dental problems throughout my life that sometimes I just want to die. I fell asleep just after 10 pm.

- Cracking A Tooth Again I did not have breakfast because I felt full. I left my sister's house just before 3 pm. I found a cheap hotel which was only €25 even though it is including dinner and breakfast. It must say crazy Japanese poor price. The hotel is located close to Hiroshima station. I was able to check in the hotel 3:30 pm. I got a public onsen which placed 15 floors so there is a nice view. I visited my regular yakitori bar Torimasa. It was Friday so inside was packed. I got a comment from a bar owner "You looks no changes." They were fine but they are still wore face masks. I wondered when they put out their face masks. I returned hotel and I got dinner. The main dish was deep-fried Jak Mackerel and simmered pumpkin. When I had mixed dried fish and nuts, I got pain on my back tooth and then I brushed my tooth, a chip of tooth fell out. It made me depressed completely and getting back sober. I have to say, such a full of tooth trouble life, I really want end of my life at once. I fell asleep around just after 10 pm.
