Dating club struggle written in shiritori 10

Listen to the song of the wind → Cake

After parting with Princess Nana, he went to Dublin.

A junior high school classmate was working hard in this area, and when I met him at a reunion several years ago, he promised to meet again.

After several reminders, it finally happened this time.

Two nights in Dublin before the change of date.

In addition to visiting the National Gallery of Ireland (which was surprisingly good), my friends and I spent time pub-hopping with dozens of pines of Guinness and some great Irish whiskey.

What we are doing with Japan is the same.

I was mostly drunk and didn't do any sightseeing, so I don't really know what kind of city it is, but it was rumored that the people were warm and kind, and it was a beautiful city.

More than anything else, I was happy to be able to slip back to my junior high school days and have a silly talk with a friend who is struggling here.

By all means, I want to visit again slowly this time.
 

Amsterdam day 1

Meeting with Princess Nana again.

After exchanging reunion hugs and kisses in the hotel lobby, we went to Hayate Ikenai Cafe.

The purpose of this time is to trip with marijuana.

as you know?Marijuana is legal in Amsterdam, subject to restrictions.

When Joe stopped by Amsterdam 10 years ago, a bad friend recommended him to try marijuana, but he didn't understand the appeal of marijuana.

It was supposed to sharpen my nerves and make me feel calm, but before that, I had a headache.
At the same time, I was sweating profusely.

When I told Princess Nana about it

"That's Joe-chan's bad way of doing it. If you take a small amount and inhale slowly, a new world is waiting for you. Nana will teach you properly."

laughs fearlessly.

That's when we reunited in Amsterdam.

It seems that Princess Nana learned marijuana when she was studying abroad in the neighboring country of Belgium (the details are not given).

A short walk from the hotel to the coffee shop.

The princess takes a deep breath in front of the store.

"It's been a while. This smell."

And trip as soon as possible?laugh as if

Even though I haven't entered the store yet, the smell of marijuana is already spreading at the entrance.

The sweet scent stimulates the sense of smell, completely different from the smell of cigarettes.

Joe also likes this scent.

When I entered the store, I was taken by Princess Nana (bitter smile) and ordered at the back counter.

There is a menu, but Joe doesn't understand it even if he looks at it, so he just pays at the mercy of the princess.
get it done

You can buy it by the gram and cut it yourself and smoke it yourself, but the princess chose the one that was already jointed.

"Since Joe is a beginner, let's share one."

So I ordered an espresso and sat down.

First, Princess Nana lights the fire.

The tip of the joint turns red with fire and slowly blows smoke.

The good smell of marijuana stimulates the nostrils of the two.

"Anyway, take it slow."

And the princess hands over the joint.

Blow carefully and slowly as advised.

Along with the strong smell, the inside of the mouth becomes hot and stimulates the tongue.

Not a bad feeling.

This is an afterthought from Princess Nana, but since the ingredients of marijuana are absorbed in the intestines, it takes time to take effect.

and less dependent.

The latter is a little questionable, but when I point it out

"There is no dependence! The proof is that I don't want to smoke at all when I'm in Hanoi or in Japan."

and argue.

But it's not as tight as usual, and it's a relaxed tone.

It seems that the princess is already seeing the effect.

I don't know if Joe is working or not.

However, I'm the type of person who makes a lot of assumptions, so I feel like I'm in a more relaxed mood than usual.

If this works, then so be it.

And after a while, I realized that it was clearly different from usual.

When Joe has something he wants to talk about, he speaks quickly (Princess Nana warns him not to panic), but even when he tries to speak quickly, his tongue doesn't move well.

It's not like when you're drunk, your tongue gets tangled, but it feels like you're speaking politely.

Joe was talking about Dublin at that time.

While sharing his impressions of Joyce's collection of short stories "Citizens of Dublin" that he had read beforehand, he slowly talked about the beauty of the city and how many people were kind.

Princess Nana listened quietly with occasional nods.

I felt that time was flowing slowly.

Then, a white man who seemed to be around 30 called out to me in Japanese.

"Are you Japanese?"

"That's right"

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"of course"

I have almost no good memories of being spoken to by a foreigner in Japanese, so I really want to refuse, but the effect of marijuana has made me feel more tolerant.

Reluctantly? I said "YES".

Princess Nana was delighted because he was a handsome young man.

His name is Mikel.

It is said that he spent a year in Japan as an exchange student in high school.

There are many reasons why I became interested in Japan, but Japanese anime and manga.

His favorite works are "My Neighbor Totoro" and "ONE PIECE".

"I learned Japanese through anime and manga. I have all the volumes of ONE PIECE."

Saying this, he took out the latest volume, "ONE PIECE" (Japanese version), from his bag.

Joe has never read it, but Princess Nana is a maniac, so he was excited about the story.

“I learned everything important in life from ONE PIECE”

and Mikel.

I don't want a kid in his twenties (he's an aspiring dentist) to say things like this, but I'm happy that Japanese manga made him a fan of Japan.

I wonder if I should read Joe to learn the secrets of life (bitter smile).

“Joe, would you like to try this?”

And what Mikel presented was a cake.

It seems that it is a marijuana cake and is called "space cake".

It was like brown baked goods.

"Joe, just take one bite."

Despite Princess Nana's advice, she ended up eating more than half of it (I don't remember).

After a while, my body became hot.

I can't stop sweating even after taking off my sweater and wearing only a shirt.

The experience of 10 years ago is revived.

I remember up to this point.

I don't remember how I got back to the hotel.

I noticed it the next morning.

I slept naked.

Princess Nana is sleeping cute next to me.

I stayed in Amsterdam for 3 nights (2 nights in Paris) and this was the only day I didn't have sex.

Princess Nana told me that marijuana and sex go well together, so I was secretly looking forward to it, but it doesn't seem to work for Joe.

Nothing beats Sirius.
 

Amsterdam day 2

Princess Nana's purpose is marijuana, but Joe's is the Van Gogh Museum.

I visited 10 years ago, but I was looking forward to it because it was renovated after that.

The rules have changed from before, and it's now a reservation system, so I hurried to the museum with a reservation ticket for admission at 11:XNUMX.

Princess Nana was clearly in a bad mood, and normally I would try to soothe her in various ways, but I ignored her because I was in Van Gogh's mind.

As usual, we disbanded at the entrance and watched at our own pace.

One of the attractions of the Van Gogh Museum is that you can appreciate many of Van Gogh's paintings.

Do you believe that "quantity equals quality"?For Joe who believes in "a lot" is more than happy.

Orsay and Metropolitan also have quite a few, but compared to this one, it's no match.

The newly refurbished Van Gogh Museum has been designed to accommodate a large number of visitors, and I feel that it has become easier to appreciate than before.

There are many Japanese people and you can hear Japanese from here and there.

The first exhibit is a self-portrait, and the rest are arranged in roughly chronological order.

I am grateful for this exhibition method because I can understand the transition of Van Gogh.

As usual, I will quote from the art notebook.

ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー

Van Gogh's self-portrait is a testing ground.Dozens of self-portraits are on display, each with different eye colors, hats, pipe orientations, coloring, facial expressions, and above all, different touches.

Most of them were produced in 1887, and since he moved to Paris in 1886, it can be seen that his painting style changed with this year as an opportunity.

At first, the influence of Impressionism seems to have been strong, but it can be seen that he established his own style in a short period of time.

For example, "The trees and underground" produced in 1887 is one of my favorite works, and I can feel his determination to establish his own style.

ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー ー

For Joe, the best is not the work famous for "Tree Roots", but it has the colors and touches typical of Van Gogh, and above all, the crazy power.

As a preliminary study, I watched the autobiographical movie "Van Gogh's Last Letter" in Japan, but I may have felt an extra sense of familiarity because there was a scene where I drew this picture.
(By the way, in the "Van Gogh letter", it was supposed that he was killed by a villager instead of committing suicide with a pistol. Is that true?)


After slowly appreciating it, rejoin Princess Nana.By this time she was in a good mood as a princess,

"Joe-chan, you didn't have sex with me yesterday, so buy me something as a penalty."

Is said.

In that case, of course, it is not possible to say "sunflower picture postcard" at the museum shop.

The sharp-eyed princess discovers a jewelry shop that is different from the general shop and is eagerly looking for it.

"I'll excuse you with earrings," said Princess Nana.

It's certainly more reasonable than rings and pendants, but there is a range of prices from 400€ to over 2000€.

The design is based on Van Gogh's "Sunflower".

of course?Joe was praying in his heart, "Please, he chose 400€!"

Tiny diamonds surround the sunflower, and a slightly larger diamond in the center of the sunflower.

Thanks to that, Joe hated Van Gogh's "Sunflowers".

We ended up staying in Amsterdam for 3 nights.

They didn't always act the same.

Princess Nana usually went to the coffee shop at night, but Joe only set foot on the first day.


We went to the Rijksmuseum together (which was great, more than the Van Gogh Museum for Joe), but while Princess Nana toured the smaller galleries, Joe took a boat tour of the canals.

Through connections, I toured boathouses along the canals (a dream of Amsterdam citizens) (I saw one on sale for 150 million euros), and wandered around the city on a rental bicycle.

Oh, I also took a peek at the famous "decoration window".

of course?Just take a peek.

Unfortunately in Amsterdam, the food is not delicious.

It might be possible if I spent more money or did more research, but the shops I was introduced to were all useless.

It's not for that reason, but there's only one thing to do after Princess Nana trips and returns to the hotel.

But if you're a little mean and don't respond right away, it's either a lie or a sincerity.

“Nana, I ended up with Mikel.”

with.

as you know?Joe loves this kind of provocation and he gets super excited.

In Amsterdam, I had a completely different character than usual, and I took off my clothes and violently stripped off my underwear.

Is it because the princess is also a princess and is tripping?

"Please punish Nana, who is not good."

I say things that I would never normally say.

Hit the princess's ass with a whip bought at a porn shop along the canal until it turns red.

The night in Amsterdam goes on as the screams of the princess resound.
 

Refusal

In Japan, there is a law called "Cannabis Control Law", and of course it is prohibited to possess it.

By the 1991 revision of the law, violations outside the country are also subject to punishment.

This means that if a Japanese person "possessed" or "transferred" cannabis in Amsterdam, they could be subject to punishment.

In addition, it is often said that marijuana is legal in Amsterdam, but as far as Joe has seen, there are gray zones and it seems to be quite vague.

Please be safe and enjoy your trip to Amsterdam.
