May 21, 2001 - Monday
A pretty good day today.
I did do a slight bit of review before my class, so that helped a bit.
After class I went to the post office to mail off a package and then I went to Sapporo.
I got a train seat by the window and as I'd bought a sandwich I ate while I looked
at the ocean. It was a nice view.
In Sapporo I got some money and then I went to Maruzen Books. I got a couple of magazines
and a couple of paperbacks on sale. I also bought The Guinness Book of Records.
Why, I don't know...but it's fun.
After that I took off to Sapporo Factory and I walked around for a while. I wanted
to get something for my niece, but I didn't see anything suitable. I went to see
a movie while I was there, The Whole Nine Yards. It was kind of silly, but fun.
I had found an Indian restaurant there and I planned to eat there, but then I realized
that I just wasn't hungry yet. Most of the downtown stores in Sapporo were closing
so I decided to head out to the suburbs. I was going to go to Espa in Kotoni, but
there was a Daiei at the subway stop, so I went there. I went up to the 2nd floor to
the children's department and found their swimsuit section. I picked out a couple
of cuties for Katie. I'll send them off soon I think.
On my way back to the station I thought that I was a little hungry so I went to a
restaurant called "Bikuri Donkey". I won't go back. The food was fine, but the
waiter was just this side of rude. He kept asking me things that I'd never heard
before and he seemed a little impatient with me. My Japanese isn't that bad and I can usually
figure out what a person is asking me, but with him there was no way. I wasn't impressed
at all.
After the meal I caught a train back to Otaru and walked home. It was a little cold,
but not too bad.
I got a call from Gabrielle and we talked for quite a while. We both needed a vent.
After we talked I watched Sabrina and a bit later ER. It was the one where Carol
gave birth and she named one of her daughters Katherine. Rather like my niece.
Cool huh?
That's it, my day in a page and a half or so. I hope tomorrow is okay. I think it'll
be really darn busy. Sigh. Night.
