最後の北海道出張。
Today was my final business trip to Hokkaido with my current company.
今回も飛行機ではなく新幹線で。４時間もの道中、こうして仕事や副業が集中してできるチャンス。とくに今回は集中して作業できた。
I took the Shinkansen instead of a plane. The four-hour journey to Hokkaido gave me a chance to focus on my work and side hustles, and I dedicated myself to my tasks today.
北海道はとても寒く、４月にも関わらず雪が積もっている。まさかの雨予報での出張になってしまったけど、それでも最後の業務を遂行してきた。
It was very cold in Hokkaido, with snow piled up, even in April. The business trip coincided with rainy weather, but I still managed to complete my final work at the site.
今晩は函館に一泊。現地で有名な焼鳥弁当を買って、ホテルで食べた。出張となると、いつも豪気にやっていたけど、たまには質素な弁当もいい。
I stayed at a hotel in Hakodate and picked up a famous stir-fried chicken lunch box, which I enjoyed. Normally, on business trips, I tend to have a big meal, but this time, I opted for a simpler dinner.
夜は時間があるので、しっかりサウナへ。何度入ったかわからないくらいサウナと水風呂を交互に入って疲れをしっかりとれた。今晩は、メシよりもサウナに満足できた日だ。
Since I had some spare time, I decided to spend it in the sauna. I don’t remember how many times I alternated between the sauna and the cold water bath, but it really helped to ease my stress. Honestly, I was more satisfied with the sauna than with dinner tonight.
To be continued.
