Day of rest and kitchen supplies

Today was a rest day. I slept in, ate breakfast, closed the drapes and slept some more.
It’s always nice, especially after getting tattooed. It lets your body heal and your mind rest.
When I got up there is a kitchen ware street around the corner I wanted to Check out. Some store were legitimate restaurant supply places. A lot of dish ware places. A lot of tourists. It was about 4 pm and not quite as hot. It was cloudy for a bit which made things nice.
This had been such a nice week. But I was surprised at the intensity of the weather. I don’t know why. It’s like this in Florida, lol and I don’t go out in this kind of weather at home. Also taking into account that I’m in a city and there are very few trees around.
Japan has 4 very distinct seasons. I think I’d like to visit in the colder months next time.
I’m going to pack up tonight and allow myself a leisurely morning tomorrow. I have a room at the airport hotel for tomorrow night. It just makes everything so much nicer flying out the next morning. And it’s right at international departures. And they have a terrific breakfast which is included.
I have really enjoyed taking the public transport. Having a metro station super close to the hotel really makes a difference. And this little hotel has been perfect. Here, you don’t have to spend more money to feel safe. It’s just safe. At least in this neighborhood.
The touristy areas have more bars and more foreigners, and then it doesn’t feel as safe.
I haven’t seen any street kitties and I’ve seen a few dogs on leashes. And people stack their recycle so neatly. I love that I’ve gotten to come back here. I needed this. Some perspective. This would be a nice place to stay for a month or 2 at a time. Osaka is less expensive and more laidback, they say. I liked what I saw when I was there. This would be a nice place to visit if I wanted cooler weather. Definitely just continuing to gather info and file it away.Read more
