crickets for 9 am, fog like someone left the dragon screen on. temp 24.47°C, humidity 93%-skin feels like being slapped by a pet crab. hotel room: no AC, fans who semi-sleep by 9pm. breakfast spot 1608096621 on map, locals say it’s closer but... okay bye. pacific place, train 30min, price list god tier. crush on a portuguese barista who laughs until you order the wrong coffee.
