Well, its not going to take me 80 days to do it, but in 80 days from now I will indeed be around on the other side of the world.... and not a moment too soon.
There was an ad posted in the foyer of the Kaikan for the last couple of weeks advertising cheap rice for sale this Saturday just gone at a rice shop up in the northern reaches of Sendai.
I made careful note of the location, and set out at the appointed time. Biked all the way up the mountain to where I thought the relevant station was.... whoops, wrong station. Not to worry, I took the train to the right one, and set out walking.
From Kita Sendai Station I was to find the police station, then look for the Nagasakiya supermarket, then go directly across the road from that, and there would be the rice shop.
Followed the directions exactly, down to the supermarket, but all that was across the road (and on the same side too) were houses, and the occasional real estate agent!
So, no rice.
Back to the station, back to my bike, then came home with my tail between my legs....
I'll just have to buy it at the supermarket and pay their expensive prices...
80
