It was a welcome change of pace.  I rode my bike to my boss\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 apartment and then we met up with another colleague and walked to the restaurant.  I enjoyed using the bike as transportation.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to the opening day of the <a href=\"http:\/\/event.chunichi.co.jp\/sumo\/e\/top_e.html\">sumo wrestling tournament in Nagoya<\/a> tomorrow.
