Trip to Japan Day-3, Hair dye experience, 10/17/2024

We slept comfortably. I was a bit surprised that we naturally woke up around 6 a.m. without feeling tired or sleepy. We didn’t get suffered from a jet lag.

In the morning, we took a walk again to get to know the area. There were many people who were busy walking to their office. We enjoyed walking freely against the commuting flow.

My daughter is a big fan of a Japanese bakery. We purchased a freshly baked bread for our breakfast.

Our second stop was the homeopathy school. Their first floor was the organic restaurant and we had the lunch there. Their food was full of fresh energy. I was touched by all their ingredient.

After the lunch, I run into the secretary general of the homeopathy school. I had talked with him via zoom at the initial interview when I applied to the professional homeopath course. I also talked to him a couple of times via zoom and emails, but it was our very first time to meet in person. We chatted for a while. I really liked his gentle and polite energy.

On the way back to the hotel, I stopped by at the other homeopathy store. When I entered the store, the store worker smiled at me and brought a small basket filled with some homeopathy remedies and support tinctures. They were the one that I ordered from America. I was surprised because I didn’t tell her my name. She said she saw my presentation before and that was why she recognized me by my face. I felt comfortable talking with her and thanked her for her kind support.

Our third stop was a Hair salon. I made an appointment online in advance. It was a 2.5 hour appointment including a shampoo, a hair-cut, a hair dye, and a short massage, a deep-treatment conditioner, a hair blow, and hair make. I dyed my hair into pinkish brown, and my daughter dyed hers to red. She originally wanted to dye her hair to blue, but it didn’t happen. The hair stylist said it would take another extra one hour because she had to breach her hair color. So, my daughter decided the color red. We both liked the results. 

Our fourth stop was a skin clinic. I made an appointment in advance for my daughter to have an ear piercing. It only cost 5,000 yen for the doctor to pierce the both ears. This price included the first pierce with the pure gold.

Then, our fifth and last stop was a yakitori-ya. I wanted to take my daughter to the Japanese BBQ chicken restaurant, so my dream came true. Even though she is still under age and cannot enjoy alcohol drink, she enjoyed the atmosphere of yakitori-ya/izakaya where people enjoy alcoholic beverage.

We had a fun day. Since we walked a lot, we slept right away when we got on the bed. Both of us didn’t have a jet lag so far.
