Another Shibuya Trip

5/24

Ok, so the next evening was spent in Tokyo meeting up with my friend Ryan from the states and his Japanese girlfriend, Minami. Essentially the same crew from the night before, we get to Shibuya around 8-830 and decide to hit the izakaya again for dinner. Now there are many advantages to this whole izakaya business, one of which is the entai. With entai, you pay about 3000 yen (about 30 american dollars) and you get all you can drink and 7 food items in two hours. As I've said before, drinking is a big deal here in Japan, so this all you can drink thing is very prevalent, evidenced by all the passed out Japanese people we passed when we walked up the stairs to the restaurant. Also worth mentioning is the screaming Japanese girl in the lobby who is just piss drunk. She was fun to listen to. It wasn't even 9 pm yet and people everywhere we just absolutely wasted. So we sit down and start ordering drinks, which you can get just about anything you want, so we order some beers, a bottle of whiskey, so-chu shots (a Japanese drink, reminds me of watered down vodka to be quite honest) and some drink that tastes like apple juice. So we eat and drink and get properly lubricated before we go to karaoke for more all you can drink action where I believe we spent another hour and a half or two hours, I can't be certain. At this point in the evening the night started to become quite blurry. So we karaoke for a while, party with some Japs in other booths, having a good time. Let's see, all I really remember after that was going to some guys house for a beer who looked like Buffalo Bill from "Silence of the Lambs," they left to go to Club Womb, a famous club in Shibuya that was featured in the movie "Babel," then we went to McDonald's for whatever reason I can't remember and while there Ryan gets in an argument with some British guy and girl I was talking to. I had no idea what had happened between them but before I knew it they were both yelling at each other and I was escorting to dude out of there before shit went down. I wasn't to worried about the guy, but the chick looked pretty butch and probably would have kicked some ass. After that we went to some club I don't remember. I do remember drinking an incredibly overpriced Foster's beer, but thats about it. Tyler at some point fell asleep in an alley. Supposedly we ate at some late night restaurant before catching the train back to Kimitsu, but I don't remember doing that at all. Honestly I don't remember catching the train back to Kimitsu, but the proof is in the puddin'. So to cap this story off, we left Kimitsu at 730 pm on Sat and arrived back home at 730 am the next day. I slept for four hours, then woke up and went to Chisako's for her private lesson, tired and hungover.
