Getting an Onsen Bath

I was not feeling well, so I went to Hono-yu, an onsen bath, in the evening. I took a nap there. I had some beer and fried shrimp inside the facility. It was a pleasant time. I went straight home because my mother had gone out to a gathering for some group. Therefore, I thought my father might have gone out somewhere for dinner, but he stayed home as usual. It sucked, so I went out again. I visited a bar called Ajia-tei. The owner, Oki-san, gave me a small bowl of somen noodles for free. I got the idea that it would be tastier if I added some deep-fried burdock. However, the dish was far from what I had imagined. It was more like burdock chips, and the portion was too big for me, so I asked them to pack it for takeaway. During that time, I read a story about Noboru Ando. It was quite interesting. I went to a bar called Kitaro, but they had already stopped letting new customers in. I wandered around for a long time. I visited a bar called Suiko-den and had only a glass of beer. In the end, I came back home and continued drinking. I read a book called Ami. It must be a super impressive book for me. I also enjoyed the silent night. How fantastic it was without the noise of the TV! I fell asleep just before 2 am.
