I paid 3,500 JPY for the lesson. I felt a bit tense before the lesson, but I was able to enjoy it afterward. When I was leaving, the teacher, Yun-san, gave me some fresh tomatoes. After that, I visited four bars. First, I went to Hakken-den. It was not very fun for some reason. Second, I visited my former favorite okonomiyaki restaurant, Chika. However, the owner&#8217;s wife, Chika-san, had retired, and almost the entire menu was gone. I met a man from Australia who was traveling in Japan. He said it was his graduation trip. I only had beer there. Anyway, seeing how the restaurant had changed made me sad. I returned to my hometown and visited Ajia-tei. I met Nakashima-san and Gan-chan. Finally, I visited the bar Tachimachi-ya. It was the first time I had been there in more than two years. It was just as lively as before, but I found it quite annoying that smoking was allowed inside. If smoking were prohibited, it would be the best bar for me. I drank moderately, and I fell asleep around midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I attended a Korean class for the first time in about a year.
