last night we went out to dinner. the food was so good, the atmosphere was totally japan, and we had a good time. after we left, naoka and i went to lawson to buy water. naoka went to the toilet and was taking a long time. i was waiting outside and something was feeling weird. my stomach just wasn’t feeling well. naoka finally came out and said “onaka daijyobu?” which means “is your stomach ok?” oh my gosh!!!! food poisoning??? my stomach started cramping. naoka thinks it was the sashimi. i think so too. we got home, i tried to sleep but was curled up like a ball. naoka gave me stomach medicine but i didn’t want to put chemicals in my body so i just tried to sleep it off. 4 times to the toilet along with my jet lag, i felt like i was dying in a third world country. so it’s 4am while i’m doing this blog. my stomach still hurts, i’m wide awake, i’ve been working for the past hour, and in a few hours, we have to load the van and drive 7 hours to tohoku. i hope toda-san has a toilet in his car. haha.
anyway, i’m going back to work.
last, i didn’t realize how dark it gets in japan so early. i was driving yesterday watching the sunset and it was only 4 pm. by 5, it was pitch dark. some very short days here in japan.
