Oh, I see, that’s why my favorite yakitoriya is closed now for weeks. You wanna scratch my isolated remainings out of here in six months. ROFL

Most neighbors do not interact here, and people love staying indoors as cave dwelling prevents one from seeing the weather, no matter what the weather is and not complain about it.

pandemic or not, knock on the neighbours door and say hello. I’ve only been told to sod off once.
And keeping in contact with regular video chats with beer, snacks and friends isn’t the same as an izakaya but it really helps avoid going stir crazy.
