Preparing for My Trip
I prepared to return to Japan. It was my first time returning in about a year, so I felt a little nervous. I checked my passport and plane ticket repeatedly. Because of the baggage weight limit, I had to think carefully about which things were truly essential. During that time, the price of Bitcoin dropped sharply, which made me feel depressed. I wondered whether I could continue living this way. This has been the worst month of the past 30 months. It is crazy, but I have to think like Job in the Bible. If you receive good things from God, you also have to accept bad things as gifts. I finished packing before 8 pm. I felt anxious and could not calm down, so I considered going to a bar. In the end, I went to the bar My Way. The regular customers were there, along with the bartender Louisa, Ruud, Bert, and Nick. I wanted to stay there forever. I ended up drinking twice as much as I had expected. I bought everyone a beer. Everyone knew that I was leaving the Netherlands tomorrow. I wondered who had told them. When I came back home, Jan and Jannine showed up, and we said goodbye. I went straight to bed without having dinner. It was just after 10 pm.
