There was a moment when I truly felt like an adult. Recently, a friend asked if I had an item needed for her class. Fortunately, I had it and lent it to her. She was extraordinarily relieved and kindly offered to treat me to a meal as a thank you. We spent a long time deciding where to eat. In the past, we always chose cheap restaurants to save money. This time, however, we chose a traditional Japanese pub where we could order alcoholic drinks. Since we are now old enough to drink alcohol, it felt a bit strange yet exciting to make such an adult choice, and I look forward to having more opportunities like this in the future. However, unlike all-you-can-eat places, izakayas charge for each dish, making the total bill much higher than expected. On a student budget, it is hard to go there every time. Foods I ate were very delicious!
