The holiday is over

I'm so glad today is a public holiday.

I'm always so grateful for public holidays but even moreso for today. I have swollen, red eyes and I don't think I'd be very productive at work.

I don't know how I got through the day or what I did exactly but it probably involved more laundry, ironing, cleaning, vacumming, reading and so on.

Soon it was evening and I met up with Sue Yen, Larry and Ian (Sue Yen's neighbour) for dinner at Porto Bazar so they could see the rainbow lights of Akashi Bridge. We went to Gaylords and I had a very nice rogan josh with nan. Then I took them to Malibu, a nice little funky cafe/bar, for dessert. We had the rare cheese cake and cherry pie.



I was so emotionally raw but I guess being around friends is what I need most. Actually, Brendon is what I need most. But to get back into the swing of things of my usual life in Japan, being with friends is the perfect remedy.
