The 114th Episode : Vanished 2:00 a.m.
[March, 1998 Barcelona, Spain]
We didn’t get in the bar of the woman dancing in a bikini but got to drink in another bar. Just watching for free!? A clock showed passed 1:00 a.m. Summer time would come at 2:00 a.m. I would like to experience the moment definitely, as Japan don’t have the custom. When it passed 1:50 a.m. the bar began to be excited. They experience the moment every year, but want to have merrymaking.
1:59… began the countdown. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and the next moment, it was not 2:00 but became 3:00 a.m. “2:00 a.m.” was vanished. Then people made their watches and clocks ahead. Summer had come to Spain. I could hear “cheers!” from here and there. They would drink upto the morning with the happiness of summer arrival. But still March though… The reason didn’t matter, it was good to drink.
I drank with two guys from Croatia and got back to the hotel around 4:00 a.m. They would take an early morning flight to return Croatia without sleeping at the hotel. They were to drink all night long from the beginning and I was made to go together. No, no, I enjoyed indeed.
Have a good trip, see ya!
