the past 2 days werent that fantastic, but i should still try to count my blessings! i guess they’re all related, but who cares?
- went cycling around and discovered this area behind loft/hep5 with quite a few small cafes, shops and boutiques. will look at them more closely another day. i discovered a reasonably priced french restaurant too, so i believe a visit there is on the cards.. sometime.
- a friend came down to visit from tokyo, and we tried the famous negiyaki behind HEP5 – was possible only because we were there rather late, at about 8.30pm. and oh man the negiyaki is sooo delicious! it reminded me A LOT of carrot cake back home – the white hawker centre type with lots of egg – and i loved it. i now understand why the queue there is forever ridiculously long.
- same said friend brought me Krispy Kreme donuts! yay. very touched cos he had to queue 20min for it.
- had a very lovely conversation over an extended lunch with some of the rest here. discovered that quite a few of us are definitely leaving after this year, which means that the osaka city government will be losing MORE THAN HALF their ALTs. it will be a good time for them to cut their costs – 13 of us leave and they might hire about 3 new ones. hurh.
- same said friend from tokyo gave me two “farewell” presents. one of which is Primataste Hainan Chicken Rice mix! :D so happy. the other one is a bible with japanese translation, with the explanation that it helped him when he’s sad or troubled, etc, and hopes that it might be useful to me too. both of which are very sweet gestures, and i really appreciate them!!
- i actually managed to come up with 5 things for the past few days – which werent good! so i think that’s a good thing too. haha
