Diary
I got up by call from the front counter of the hotel, ate late breakfast and left around 11:00 AM.
I was waiting the openning of the "Tomato WA Tomato" untill 11:30 and got in.
I didn't think the master remembered me, but he talked to me,"Are you running around Lake Biwa?". It was a key words, yes, he remembered me. I feel very happy to hear that. After great lunch, I dropped in internet cafe and wrote blog and TCC. I left Kusatsu just before 2:00 PM.
It was a fast run to Gifu.
The girl who take my photo in front of Gifu Sta. was very cute. I wanted to take her photo, but I couldnot say, "Can I ...?".

I drank untill 3:00 AM at bar in front of Gifu Sta.
