...to me!
Oops, it was 21 days ago :p So on December 1st it was was 23rd birthday. But I'm fast learning that getting older isn't fun, so I was quick to tell everyone that it was my second 22nd. I'm not the kind of person to lie about their age since I'm still young and I don't really need to, but I think I needed to slowly ease myself into the idea of being 23.
Anyway! I had planned a nice drive to Hikone Castle in Shiga prefecture, next to the biggest lake in Japan, Lake Biwa. Afterwards we would return to Kani for dinner at my favourite yakitori restaurant. Suzuka arrived in Kani and we set off at about 12pm on Saturday! Unfortunately for us, I thought I could remember the directions seeing as it was only a one-road trip. However, the first turn I made put us on the wrong track. Eventually I felt like things were off, but Suzuka checked her iPhone for directions and assured us we were going the right way. We weren't.
We ended up going towards Nagoya and then all around Gifu. We ended up driving for four hours to arrive nowhere. We decided to go to Inuyama Castle instead, seeing as Suzuka had never been there, but we arrived right on closing time.
I was extremely downcast and had a few tears. Back home we had a hot chocolate and then headed to dinner. Ice and his wife Antonietta met us there, and we had a really lovely dinner.
Dede took his camera, so he's the one with the photos. I'll have to wait for him to put them on Facebook, so I can repost them here!
The following weekend...
Dede and I made it Hikone!! It was a freezing, awfully cold day. And...I'll finish this entry tomorrow. I'm feeling lazy now :p
