Bringing a Gift to the Yakitori Bar

I attended an English class. It was not very useful. Actually, the owner of the class dislikes me, so the curriculum has become worse than before. There used to be a competent female teacher, but these days she is no longer in charge of my class. Maybe her teaching fee is higher than that of the other American teacher, which could be the reason. I visited the yakitori bar Torimasa for the first time in over half a year. I gave them a gift from Holland. It consisted of chia seeds, canned liver pate, and a small bottle of Jagermeister. The bar owner asked me where I got my hair cut. He has the same concern about hair thinning due to aging. I shared with him a reference photo I use at the barbershop to show how I want my hair cut. After returning to my hometown, I visited the karaoke bar Michi. I talked with an older man who lives in Nishi-Hiroshima. He left soon after, and then I talked with the bar owner for over an hour. I moved to another bar, Ajia-tei. The bar owner talked a lot more than usual. I ordered fried noodles. It was my first time, and I regretted ordering such a heavy dish. He gave me homemade pudding for free. I do not like sweets, but it was tasty. He told me how to cook pork trotters. When he lived in Onomichi, he went to a barbecue restaurant. He loves pork trotters, but the owner of the restaurant was not a good cook, so they tasted like plastic. We laughed a lot. When I left the bar, I realized I had lost my hat. I retraced my steps to look for it, but I could not find it. Where did I drop it? I fell asleep just after 1 am.
