Watching the sunset over Thessaloniki

2024/6/2

breakfast

I boiled pasta with spiced salt.
I put too much sugar in the tea that Aji-chan gave me, so I drank it in a beer glass...

On this day, I was listening to music at the inn and thinking about my plans for the future.

I'm from the generation when Hi-STANDARD
was at its peak,
and I didn't think their music was very good
at the time.

But when I listen to them now,
it really touches my heart.
I think that's because they were creating
not only music, but also Japanese culture.

Work shirts, Dickies shorts, VANS sneakers…

They were not in the media at the time,
but they had a huge impact on young people
in Japan.

I feel nostalgic about that.

7pm
To the sea to watch the sunset.

As I was sitting on the bench,
a Turkish man named Ismail sat next to me.

I don't know why,
but I usually make friends right away.

My partner's boots are also showing their age.
I want to keep wearing them and repairing them so they don't break until I get back to Japan.

That day is still a long way off.
