I cleaned up my apartment and had a quick dinner after school before S and R showed up. We were driving down to Nagoya tonight. After rearranging the cars, we set off shortly after 6 pm. I borrowed Ichigo-sensei’s ETC card. It’s like EZ-pass in Japan, but a credit card with a microchip that you stick into a reader that’s installed in your car. You get a much better discount on the expressway tolls. We only made a couple wrong turns. I was finally able to read my first set of kanji for rest stop center, whoop whoop. I drove the whole way and it took us 4 hours and 15 min as I shaved off 15 min of driving time. It rained the whole way from Nagano through Gifu and Aichi. I beat my tunnel record with an 8650 m long tunnel. Finally after arriving in Nagoya at 10:45 pm, we managed to get a parking spot and lug our things to the airbnb. But, of course, google was off with the location so we did have to wander in circles a bit. I was very happy to finally get in bed.
