Day 111: (1 September 2011):
- Since no longer going to Fuji, make plans of going to Nagoya on way to tokyo for flight.
- Leg really quite bad. Was hoping some rest will resolve it.
- Quite swollen. Central bump turning black & purple. Abcess? Extended hand-sized red & warm patch, almost like flowing down leg.
- For lunch, go to Metepo, as rec’ed by Ben. The guy co-worker says my stomach will be bad.
- Walk there after consulting Google maps, happy when see it.
- Pressed the button using copied Japanese & phonetic pronouciation.
- Ushered in, awkward due to lack of Japanese.
- Share table. Woman server keep saying something, I don’t understand. Eventually, one guy at table say “thick, no. Regular, OK?” Thanked him for translating.
- Very short talk: Canada, NZ. He point at some pickles for me.
- Ate pretty fast due to awkwardness. Less comfortable than hoped.
- Even regular was ridiculously thick. Not convinced I didn’t get the thick one. Glorious pieces of fat.
- Thick here is the only ramen Ben thinks is OK not to drink the broth.
- Rest of day: Made preparations for Nagoya, take photos of LP pages & research online.
- Dinner with Ben at an izakaya, fitting last dinner together.
- Delicious, as usual. Skewers (take off skewers during izakaya), self squeezed chu-hi’s. Fried chicken livers. Hoppy.
- Before dinner, I looked for ticket counters (bus), found, but decide not buy. Upstairs at Namba JR.
- Ben decide go to Tokyo w/ me. Ramen & baseball game. Contact Tokyo friend.
- Very few tickets left. Tour of new Osaka station. Y5000. Tickets on diff buses.
- Ben seen some Apple House people downstairs. Hang out in lounge with some cans of beer / fake beer / chu hi.
- French person get teaching job. Other foreign ppl. Koreans. Nice lounge area w/ TV. Counters.
- Leg getting bad. Careful what position it is in.
- Good thing no Fuji.
