Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?

Part 3: A Lost City, Cross on a Mountain and the James Bond of Bagpipes
We woke up slightly hungover and certainly dehydrated. Not a great start to a long day out but breakfast did revive us somewhat. Waiting out front for the coach, as seemed a common and welcome theme by now, I was greeted by an affection craving black cat with little white paws and a crooked ear. He jumped gingerly into my lap and his scrawny rear end rose high with every stroke. T dubbed him “Cotton Socks”, which suited him handsomely. He would be there to escort us to the shop upon our return, as any gentlecat might assume was his duty, though wouldn’t be as helpful as he thought considering we had to avoid stepping on him multiple times.

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
