I drank sake in Tenma, Osaka, fell asleep on the street, and lost 1 shoe 👞

My Big Failure

The place where I failed big with alcohol was "Tenma" in Osaka.

What Is Tenma?

Tenma is an area with so many izakaya bars.

And there are many cheap ones too.

Only 1 Shoe

There, I once went out to eat with a friend who lives in Osaka.

That day, I got really drunk.

And I fell asleep on the street in Tenma.

In the morning, when I woke up, my shoe was gone.

I lost only 1 of my shoes.

I was that drunk, and I slept somewhere I did not even know.

From that day, I became scared of alcohol.

Thank You

But my friend was a really good guy.

It seems I fell asleep on the street, but my friend took my bag and other valuables home for me.

So my important things were not stolen.

Also, I thought Japan really is safe.

My smartphone was in my pocket, and it was not stolen at all.

When I woke up, I still had my smartphone, so I somehow got home.

I am really glad I passed out drunk in Osaka, or I mean, in Japan.

I was so thankful for how safe Japan is.

Found A Shoe?

If you find 1 black shoe in Tenma,

that is probably mine.

I am sorry.
