Lunch with Relatives

I went to a soba restaurant called Nihachijyuroku, which is run by my sister’s husband. My sister Nina picked my parents and me up at 11 am. The restaurant was packed, so we had to wait for about 20 minutes. I had soba noodles, but the portion was quite large for me. We returned to my parents’ house around 2 pm and chatted for a while. I visited a dermatology clinic to have the warts on my calf removed. However, the doctor told me that they should be surgically removed. I thought it would be easy to get rid of them with a laser or something, so I decided not to do anything this time. I visited an onsen called Hono-yu and took a nap. I visited the bar Takomon and then moved on to the bar Kitaro. I met a staff member called Anna-san for the first time in over a year. I also met an intelligent woman. She asked me what kind of books I read. We talked about several serious topics, and she recommended a book to me. I moved on to the bar Ajia-tei. Oki-san looked fine. He had gotten some medication at a clinic for his prostate. Finally, I visited a ramen shop called Hakata-ya and had gyoza and ramen to call it a day. I ate and drank too much, and I went to bed around midnight.
