I woke up again a few hours later with Ayumi and her cousin (I think her name is Lian but I could be wrong… let her do her introduction in English so I’m not 100% sure) sitting in front of my face smiling down at me. We ate left-overs from the previous night (and still couldn’t finish them all), along with some fish and rice. After eating we sat around for a while, complaining about how full we are, and Ayumi said we should go for a walk so Ayumi, her mom, myself and Daisuke walked to her grandfather’s tomb down the road. The weather was really great and the air was fresh. We walked through the sort of inverted ditches between fallow paddy fields and along a small road. Ayumi was wearing a mask the whole time because of the pollen. People are sneezing all over the place, myself included, so lots of people take to wearing masks. Apparently one in five Japanese people have pollen allergies.
