Today I decided to take a trip to Atsuta shrine by bike, about 16 kilometers. There’s been too many times that I’ve passed the opportunity to see this shrine and today I thought it would be good weather and nice exercise.

You’re enjoying yourself for hours on end: the atmosphere, the food, drinks, people. Come eleven o’clock and you’re finishing up the third bottle of [...]
There’s a lot of people around here who are all having problems with losing their hair. In the shower, hanging around in the room; we all have been noticing a lot of hair loss everywhere. Nobody seems to have any ideas other than the water we’re using to bathe and drink…

With the exception of this past Sunday, I’ve been biking every day miles and miles for pleasure and exercise. I’ve been to neighboring cities and towns and a few times I’ve even ridden as far out to neighboring prefectures ― it was the ride back in those times that was really tough.
