After Tokyo, I headed to my friend in Nagoya, who is living and studying in Japan for a year. The distance between Tokyo to Nagoya is 360 km, which took me two hours by shinkansen. It was a huge hassle with my big suitcase, but fortunately I could leave most of my stuff in Nagoya and use my friend’s smaller suitcase instead, which was so much more convenient.
I explored some of Nagoya… unfortunately the town itself isn’t that interesting. My friend and I also went to Nagoya castle, which was lovely. We also went inside, where they had objects from the olden days displayed. The view was nice too.
On the second night, my friends and me went to this reggae party… Unfortunately, when we were looking for a toilet, I ran after my friend, slipped and fell on my knees, which was really painful :( Apparently my crash was so loud that a man even left his… restaurant/kitchen? in order to give me a wet towel for my knees. Fortunately I didn’t really break or strain anything, but it was very painful and harder to walk, too.
The reggae party itself was a bit… funny. My friends wanted to arrive early, as soon as it started, but the artist, MOOMIN, only showed up after a few hours. It was pretty great though, and I danced along with my painful knees and ankles. Later, we went to this English pub which was full of (scary) foreigners.
