Man, today was a wild ride in Tendo! Like, seriously, I can’t even. Woke up late, as usual. My alarm? Yeah, it totally betrayed me. I jumped outta bed, threw on some clothes, and bolted out the door.
First stop? The local konbini on Kiyokawa Street. Gotta grab my morning coffee, right? But guess what? They were outta my fave blend! Ugh, I was like, “Are you kidding me?!” So, I settled for some random stuff. Not the same, man.
Then, I hit the streets. Tendo is so chill, but today? Nah, it was buzzing. People everywhere! I mean, it’s a small city, but it felt like Tokyo during rush hour. I walked down Kamo River, and wow, the cherry blossoms were still hanging on. So pretty! Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
But then, bam! I tripped over a loose stone. Like, seriously? Who leaves stones lying around? I was so mad! I looked around, half-expecting someone to laugh at me. But nope, just a bunch of old folks fishing. They didn’t even flinch.
After that, I decided to chill at Tendo Park. You know, just to breathe. But guess what? There was a kid flying a kite. And not just any kite—a giant dragon kite! It was epic! I was like, “Dude, where’d you get that?” He just grinned and said, “My dad’s a wizard.” I laughed so hard, I almost choked on my drink. Kids are the best!
Then, I met up with my buddy, Kenji, at a ramen shop on Yamaguchi Street. Man, the ramen there is to die for! We ordered the spicy miso, and it was fire! Like, I could feel my taste buds dancing. But then, Kenji started telling me this ridiculous story about his cat. Apparently, it thinks it’s a dog now? I was dying!
But then, outta nowhere, the power went out! Just like that! I was like, “What the heck?!” The whole place went dark. People were freaking out, but I just laughed. I mean, c’mon, it’s Tendo! We don’t get power outages like this.
So, we sat there in the dark, eating our ramen by phone light. It was kinda romantic, in a weird way. I mean, who needs fancy candles when you got a smartphone?
After that, we decided to stroll around. Hit up the Tendo City Hall area. They had this cool festival going on. Food stalls everywhere! I grabbed some yakitori, and wow, it was so good! I could’ve eaten a hundred sticks.
But then, I saw this guy juggling fire. Like, what? I was so impressed, I almost dropped my food. He was all serious, and I was just standing there, mouth agape. I mean, who juggles fire in Tendo? Only the brave, I guess.
As the sun started to set, the sky turned this beautiful orange. I felt all reflective, you know? Tendo is such a gem. It’s got this small-town vibe but so much life. I love it here.
But then, I got a text from my boss. Ugh, work stuff. He wanted me to send over some reports. I was like, “Dude, it’s Saturday!” But whatever, I’ll deal with it later.
Finally, I headed home, exhausted but happy. Today was a rollercoaster. Tendo, you never cease to amaze me! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
