Man, what a day! I’m a forester, right? So, I’m used to chillin’ in the woods, not dodging cars in Suita. But today? Total chaos.
So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping. I’m thinkin’, “Today’s gonna be a good day.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. I head out to Suita, which is like this cool city near Osaka. It’s got parks, like the Suita Green Space, and I’m all about that nature vibe. But today? Nah, not so much.
First off, I’m on the train, and it’s packed. Like, sardines in a can packed. I’m squished between this dude who smells like he bathed in soy sauce and a lady with a million shopping bags. I’m like, “Great, just what I needed.”
Finally, I get to Suita Station. Phew! Fresh air! But wait, what’s this? A festival? I’m like, “Sweet! I love festivals!” But then I see the crowd. It’s like a sea of people on Senrioka Street. I can’t even move! I’m trying to get to the Suita City Hall, but it’s like swimming upstream.
I’m dodging folks, and then BAM! I bump into this guy. He’s got a huge takoyaki in one hand and a phone in the other. He drops the takoyaki. I’m like, “Dude, I’m sorry!” But he just stares at me like I’m the worst person ever. Chill, man! It’s just food!
So, I finally make it to the park. I’m ready to chill, but guess what? It’s closed for maintenance. Seriously? I’m about to lose it. I just wanna sit under a tree and breathe. But nooo, gotta deal with city life.
I decide to grab some food. I hit up this little joint on Nakayama Street. The ramen there is bomb! I order a bowl, and while I’m waiting, I see this cute dog. I’m like, “Aww, look at that pup!” But then it starts barking at me. I’m like, “Chill, buddy! I’m not here to steal your food!”
Finally, my ramen comes. It’s steaming, and I’m ready to dive in. But then, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy from the forest. He’s like, “Dude, we need to talk about the trees.” I’m like, “Can’t it wait? I’m in Suita!” But no, he keeps going on about some invasive species. I’m like, “Bro, I’m trying to enjoy my ramen here!”
After that, I decide to check out the Suita City Museum. I’m all about learning, right? But it’s closed too! What is this, a conspiracy? I’m getting angrier by the minute.
I walk around, trying to find something to lift my spirits. I stumble upon a street performer on Koshien Street. He’s playing the guitar, and it’s actually pretty good. I stop, and for a moment, I forget about the craziness. I even throw him some yen.
But then, outta nowhere, it starts to rain. Like, heavy rain. I’m soaked in seconds. I’m standing there, drenched, thinking, “This day can’t get any worse.” But wait! I see a little shop selling umbrellas. I run in, and guess what? They’re all out! I’m like, “Are you kidding me?”
So, I just embrace the rain. I’m walking back to the station, laughing at myself. I mean, who gets rained on in Suita after a crazy day? Me, apparently.
By the time I get back to the station, I’m exhausted. I plop down on a bench, and I’m just like, “What a day.” But you know what? Even with all the madness, I kinda love Suita. It’s got this vibe, you know? The mix of city and nature.
So, yeah, that was my day. A wild ride, for sure. I’m ready to hit the woods again. No more city chaos for me!
