... as I feared... it needs a replacement because it was so worn out -_- 

I carried the bike all the way to Gokiso... my arms are sore.. 

At least this place had a nicer guy, and was cheaper... 3300yen

So, altogether I have paid 7800yen for my bike... that means that out of all the exchange students, I paid the most. Because the guys got their second-hand bikes for 7000yen... My luck just sucks...

Anyway-

Last night I made Shogayaki! Spent lots of effort and tears grating the ingredients (onions argh!) lol And it tasted superb - and Nana will second that :)
