flying out of a country is always the time i take to reflect on things. the flight over, and the flight back. was it satisfying? was it fun? was it different? was it memorable? was it exciting? a big YES to every thing.

i’m still learning about whisky. i learned the different in taste. i learned the difference in smokiness. i learned the different in years aged. and i learned that if you drink too much, you will have a massive hangover like how i do right now. haha.

i came back home and Inaida-san was getting the fire ready. always perfect to sit in front of the fireplace and feel the warmth.

then Yuki-san made me a jack/coke and that’s all i remember. but i woke up with a big smile on my face so i know it was an awesome night! thank you Inaida-san and Yuki-san always for your kindness. and thank you always for making me feel very welcomed in tokyo. see you again soon!
