I'm back in Tokyo now and tonight I fly back to Bangkok. In about 24 hours I will be complaining about the heat and humidity again, but right now I'm cold.
I'm always happy to fly back to Bangkok., but especially this time because of my appearance I cannot have any more fun in Japan. Last night I fell on my face and I look like I've been in a pub brawl. The injuries are not serious but they look bad. In Thailand, I would be proud of such injuries and probably make up a good story to go with them. But Japan is different. To go out, you must look your best. To be polite, I should stay out of public so people don't have to see my ugly face.

Were you with the gangstas when you fell on your face? May I assume alcohol was involved? You do your mother proud!
Yes, alcohol was involved but I was not with my Yakuza friends--they probably would have caught me.
