Earlier this year we were talking about taking another trip to Korea or Malaysia together, but as the pandemic took over the world, we had to postpone our trip. Mai is one my oldest friends in Fukuoka! I've known her for almost ten years. We both identify as being in the "ambiguous" middle-ground of being not-quite foreign but not quite Japanese either. We had a much-needed talk about our identity and hearing that she felt the same way gave me permission to see myself as a "mixed culture" person as well. Having spent half my life in Japan I've been constantly told I'll never be Japanese, and I can't exactly call myself half since I don't have the blood for it, and I'm not a 帰国子女 since this isn't my country, but there is a middle ground where I feel comfortable and I think it's among the people who share mixed cultural identities, and that is ok to say, I think. We had the afternoon tea set on the 35th floor of the Hilton Seahawk, overlooking the entire city. Having been closed until just earlier this month, the Hilton has re-opened with a focus on delivering luxury experiences to locals. As the pandemic puts a damper on all travel, you can still be a tourist in your own city. The Clouds Dining Bar and Restaurant has mandatory temperature checks upon entry, masks are worn by all the staff, everyone wears sterile gloves, and the seats are spaced so far apart, it's the perfect place for a date with someone special. Thank you Mai, for being my someone special. ♥️♥️♥️ ヒルトンの35階にいてアフターヌーンティーを頂きました。最近はレストランの営業を再開して、コロナ対策をバッチリしています。広い空間でお茶と甘い夏果物のスイーツを頂きながら、久しぶりに会ったマイちゃんと長くてアイデンティティーについて深く語って、自分がハーフでもないし、帰国子女とも言えないけど、やはりそういう2つの文化が交えた人間として、自分がミックスだと考えてもいいかなと、納得できました。 35階から見た福岡の景色も良くて、大好きな友達とゆっくりガールズデートできてよかったです。

Day 18273639 of the rainy season. I don't remember the weather being this gloomy for this long last year. 🥺🥺🥺 I planned to stay home for the four day weekend but ended up going on a quick lunch date with my (girl) friend yesterday. Since we never get to dress up anymore, we dressed up for each other. ♥️ I always love coming to Momochi and seeing Fukuoka Tower -- we admired it from the 35th floor of the Hilton Fukuoka Seahawk. Anyone can come up here if they're planning to grab a drink, lunch, or afternoon tea at the Clouds bar! You don't have to be a hotel guest! もういいから早く梅雨明けして!!!って感じですね。去年こんなに雨降ったっけ? 4連休はおとなしくて家に居たつもりでしたが、昨日はちょっと近場で久しぶりに会った大好きな友達とガールズデートでした。ヒルトンだから二人とも少しお洒落して行こうと。笑 福岡タワーやっぱり好き。 帰りは土砂降りでした。🤷‍♀️
