Wandering Around My Local Town

I felt a bit hungover, but I completed my daily tasks properly. I went out around 5 pm. It was still early to visit a bar, so I took a walk. I passed a mint and reached the Yahata River. Astonishingly, I saw some teenagers swimming there. The scene made me feel nostalgic. However, I wondered if the water quality was safe for swimming. While walking, my sandal broke again. I stopped by a DIY store called Juntendo and bought some glue. I fixed the sandal right away, and it seemed to work. I found a bar called Mako-chan-ya. It was my first time visiting there. The atmosphere was okay, but for some reason I did not feel comfortable. I felt that the staff were unfriendly to strangers. I only had some edamame. After that, I stopped by a supermarket and got a lot of discounted dishes. Most of them were half-price. I had packed sushi or something similar at home. Unfortunately, the packed minced horse mackerel sashimi was completely rotten. I have to say, “Buy cheap, pay dear,” because it was only 150 JPY (0.89 EUR). It was basically garbage. I talked with my mother but not with my father. I went to bed around 11 pm.

Wandering My Local Town I felt hangover a bit but I did my daily tasks properly. I went out around 5 pm. It was quite early to visit the bar so I did stroll aroun. I went over a mint and reached Yahata river. Astonishingly, I saw teenager were swimming there. The view was made me feel nostalistic. However, I wondered if the river's water quality is not suitable for swimming. During walking, my sandal was broken again. I visited DIY shop Juntendo and I got glue. I fixed my sandal with glue at once. It seemed working. I found the bar Mako-chan-ya. It was the first time visiting there. The amosphere was okay but I did not feel comfortable for some reason. I felt the bar staff member was cold to stranger. I had only having edamame. I stopped by a supermarket and I got a lot of discounted dishes. They were almost all half price. I had packed sushi or something at home. Unfortunately, packed minced horse mackerel sashimi was completely rotten. I have to say "Buy cheap, pay dear" because it was only 150 JPY (0.89 EUR). It must be garbage. I talked with my mother but my father. I went to bed around 11 pm.
