We had a rest back at the hotel and then started shopping. I was taking it easy and at 11:12am I got a message from my 2nd level manager asking to have a phone call on Tuesday (my Wednesday) two days from now. Getting a text message from work while on vacation isn\u2019t a usual thing and getting one from your manager\u2019s manager is more than ominous. Just like most companies, the place I work has announced layoffs and I figured I\u2019m on the chopping block. I won\u2019t know for two days. Thanks a lot for ruining a couple days of my vacation, even if it isn\u2019t bad news. Even worse, it took me a bit to get ahold of any co-workers and no one knows anything. Of course that\u2019s when I found out that it\u2019s Sunday night there.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so that snapped me out of feeling poorly, but I wasn\u2019t that hungry. We went to Nana\u2019s Tea (I think) and had a light lunch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_6415.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_6415.png\" alt=\"IMG 6415\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been there before and it\u2019s quite tasty. A little more shopping and I made it back to the hotel for a nap at 2pm. My sister went shopping for a bit and then hit the laundromat, something we have to do a couple times on our trips because we don\u2019t travel with huge suitcases.<\/p>\n<p>I still wasn\u2019t feeling great after the nap, so it was just combini snacks for dinner again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"IMG_6416.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_6416.png\" alt=\"IMG 6416\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s about it.
