Summary
520! Did you forget? What if you’re in another country? The lady at the front desk speaks Chinese, from Xiamen. Lives and works in Fukuoka now. Hostel is nice, got to make good use of it today cause I slept most of it. Did venture out a little bit, through the Kawabata shopping lane and stopped by a cafe that smelled really good. Carried on and somehow (again) found the red light district, which was literally just across the bridge from the rather large Canal City shopping mall. Did some live streams, and thinking, How do touring musicians do this? How’s the pcast sounding so far? I noticed the noise gate was kicking in so you can’t hear all of the background noise.
