“The Hazuki Diaries” is a project in which I chronicle my replay of the original Shenmue on the Dreamcast. Check out part one here and part two here.

If the previous day was one of sloth and distraction (paralleling my own real-life Sundays), I made up for it today.

Upon learning that the men in suits and Lan Di were Chinese, I sought out other Chinese people in Dobuita for clues. Kinda weird to assume that every person of Chinese descent knew all the other Chinese folks, but everyone seemed to be cool with it.

Before I started looking for sailors there was something important that I needed to do. I headed over to the Tomato コンビニ to browse their wares.

I resumed my hunt for sailors in Dobuita’s bar district.

When I was jumped by some meatheads outside, I knew I had found the right bar.

Turns out I need to find a man named Charlie. He wears sunglasses, a leather jacket, and has a tattoo…

Next Entry: Winning cans and losing tats! Please look forward to the next “Hazuki Diaries!”
