Decided to go out Sat night to check out the night life scene. I think it will be the last night of partying for a while..(till Myong gets here!)
Went to a place out in Shinjuku called the Dubliners. Not a bad place, exspensive though at (hmm, theres a chick in front of me kissing the webcam and talking on the internet phone....) 800 yen a pint. I wasnt planning on staying too long but ran into a Chinese-American from Hawaii (who thought i was from hawaii too!). So we chatted away and i left at 11:40 to catch the last subway home...welp...i caught the last subway, but forgot that i needed to transfer.. By the time i got to the transfer station, the other lines had closed! That sucked. Lucky thing is that they have the Yamanoted, a train line that runs around the city. So i run to the train station (i wasnt the only one) and caught the last train. Unfortunately, the train doesnt go all the way up to my hotel which is 3 subways stops from the main station. 45 minutes later, i managed to walk home. All in all, it took me about 2 hours to get back!
Had an interesting group from america come in yesterday. The girl was talking on the phone, calling up a whole slew of people saying "Im in Japan now"...What got everyones heads turned around was a little part in the conversation that went like "Its so expensive, but ive alread found a job" (Wow, i thought, thats pretty damn good for just arriving) "I tried out this strip club..." (ah....i see) "and this hostess club...and i can get 7000 yen per lap dance".
