That better bar stopped serving early. No surprise there. Pleasant surprise though, they're open for 4 hours a night for the next 3 nights too — probably one of the few to do so.

Quite a bit into 2017 now and I'm not convinced. Let's see if that other, better bar is open.

Yes, that!

Possibly my last drink of the year. Not a fancy one, just a barrel-aged gin martini. Unfortunate that this may be my last cocktail in Tokyo as all the bars close tomorrow and possibly the 2nd.

Futon and buckwheat pillow = great sleep.

Uncontrollable heating = sweaty sleep.

Won't be easy — 31st and 1st. I am staying one extra day, so the night before I leave (5pm flight), I'll have a chance to be alone. And, of course, it'll be much easier once back in HK.

In a tiny town. Have barely even seen anyone outside of the family all day. And it's taking its toll. Physical fatigue is contributing to it, I'm sure.

For me it depends on what kind of cold it is. A/C cold I find rather uncomfortable compared to natural cold, even if the resulting room temperature is the same.

I deliberately underdress etc. 1) to avoid sweating and 2) to stay used to colder weather.

That's more my style. I can't stand this heat. I woke up 90 minutes into my 5.5-hour sleep last night drenched in sweat because the room was at 24ºC and I couldn't turn the A/C on or open the window.
