The class was productive. I stopped by a bookstore and bought some books, then read them at Tully&#8217;s Coffee. I also wrote a blog article. I went to Yokogawa Station and visited a local movie theater. I watched two movies in a row. The total cost was 2,800 JPY. The movies were Hitoritabi (Solo Trip) and White Bread and the Dictator. The former was quite cheap in terms of its content, while the latter was good. I found a new craft beer shop and had four types of beer. They were all delicious. I visited Tsubo, a local bar. It was my first time visiting there in over a year. The owner of the bar, Miko-chan, remembered me. I met a man who was married to a Chinese woman, had two children, and lived in Shinsen, China. However, he, Kawade-san, currently lives in India because of his work and has been living there for two years. I was astonished that I could meet such an international person at a small local bar. We talked a lot and shared the same perspective on Japan&#8217;s catastrophic future. I really respect his mature knowledge, experience, and so forth. We talked and drank a lot. We moved to another bar, but the last train was approaching, so we had to leave. I wanted to talk with him endlessly. He walked with me to the entrance of Yokogawa Station. I went to the nearest station and visited Yoshinoya. I had a small gyudon and some clam miso soup. When I returned home, my mother was still awake. She had been having a drinking party at home, and some of her senior friends had been there just a minute before. I took a shower and went to bed just after 1 am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I attended an English class at 10 am, so I woke up much earlier than usual.
