I did this Drawing at MC Donalds in Matsumoto, where we spent a night sleeping at 24 hours Mc Do.

We were expecting them to try and throw us out, but they didnt. They just quietly cleaned around us (as we were pretending to really be asleep) and we heard them saying “shhh… The gaijin are sleeping”.

When I woke up in the morning I just couldnt go to sleep, so I just got a hot tea and melonpan (?) for breakfast and did this drawing of two japanese ladies who were killing the time till the first train with a little nap at Mc Do on the opposite table.

Matsumoto is a really nice city, we were actually going somewhere else, but as we got off to change trains, we just decided to stay there. So we had no Idea it was an important historical city… They have a nice castle, it seems even the interiors are intact (unlike the Castle at osaka) but we didnt go in. we just tried to fish carp out of the pond around the castle we met up with, cedric, the french boy we had met at shojis place in kyoto. next night we spend on some benches near the castle. Again people cleaning around us in the morning. As always when you sleep in a park for some reason. cedric was even tryin to put up his orange tent on the bench, which was apparently rather difficult.

Another thing I will never forget about Matsumoto is the shower story. But that I’ll tell another time.

Hope you enjoy and if there are any questions, comments, corrections, feel free to post them here.
