Man, what a day! I woke up in Satte, Japan, and thought, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I’m an ichthyologist, right? Fish are my jam. But today? Ugh. I had plans to check out the Satte River. Heard the fish there are like, super unique. But nah, life had other plans.
So, I’m cruising down Koshigaya Street, right? Just vibin’ to my tunes. Suddenly, I see this massive crowd. I’m like, “What’s poppin’?” Turns out, it’s some festival. I mean, Satte’s known for its festivals, but this one? Wild. People everywhere, food stalls, and the smell of yakitori in the air. My stomach growled louder than a bass drum.
I grab some skewers, and OMG, they were delish! But then, I spill soy sauce all over my shirt. Great. Just great. Now I look like a walking sushi roll. I’m trying to clean it up, and this old dude starts laughing at me. I’m like, “Dude, I’m an ichthyologist, not a fashion icon!”
After that, I finally make it to the river. The water’s glistening, and I’m pumped. I set up my gear, ready to catch some fish. But wait—what’s that? A bunch of kids are throwing rocks into the water. Seriously? I’m about to lose it. “Hey, kids! Those fish are my friends!” But they just giggle and keep tossing. I mean, come on!
Then, outta nowhere, I see this massive koi swimming by. I’m like, “YES! Finally!” I whip out my net, but just as I’m about to catch it, a dog runs by and knocks me over. I’m sprawled out on the bank, looking like a total fool. The koi swims away, and I’m left with mud in my hair. Awesome.
I get up, brush myself off, and decide to take a break. I sit on a bench near Satte Park. It’s beautiful there, cherry blossoms everywhere. I take a deep breath, trying to chill. But then, I see a couple arguing. Like, full-on shouting. I’m just trying to enjoy nature, people!
After that drama, I head to the Satte City Museum. I think, “Maybe I’ll learn something cool.” But it’s closed! What kind of museum closes in the middle of the day? I’m fuming. I just wanna see some fish exhibits!
So, I wander around, and I find this little shop on Koshigaya Street. They sell fish-themed stuff. I’m like, “Finally, something good!” I buy a cute little fish keychain. It’s adorable. But then, I realize I left my wallet at the park. Ugh!
I rush back, and thankfully, it’s still there. Phew! But now I’m exhausted. I decide to call it a day. As I’m walking back, I can’t help but laugh at the chaos. Satte is wild, man.
I get home, plop on my couch, and think about the day. It was a rollercoaster. I got mad, I laughed, I even got a new keychain. Satte, you crazy! But I love ya. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s adventure. Just hope it’s a bit less chaotic!
