## Resource

Recording this one quietly because I’m not sure if this is a cult! 9Hours capsule hotel… complicated set up. Different floors, reception, storage, capsules… all through one elevator per gender. Still in Fukuoka, will I be able to make it out tomorrow, or will I have to leave another way? Busan ferry SOLD OUT! Manila at midnight? Is it safe? Taipei, what do you say? Can we make it tomorrow, eh? And what did I do in my last day in Fukuoka? Walked around, livestreamed, went to an art gallery, and to the ruins of the Fukuoka castle. Donate to the show!
