First Friday in Japan!

Oh mannn, Friday's will be forever reserved for intense partying/drinking XD This has just set the standard. I'll blog lots more about it tmrw when I'm less exhausted >< First of all though, here is my fourth vlog, which does has a video or two from tonight ^^;;



Half of us. (I can't wait to get the group pics from people!)

Tara and I ^^

Haha, people commented before I got to blog about it ><

Anywayyy, the first half of yesterday I covered in my vlog, BUT the last half is the most entertaining and you guys haven't even heard about it yet! So around..6 or so, I got really bored after moving around furniture and making my vlog, so I went up to Ian's room on the 7th floor to see what we were doing for dinner. Patrick was there and Ian had found a place that we could possibly go clubbing/drinking, so for an hour or so, we worked on gathering people and getting more info on it so we could go. Around 7, we went to grab some food at the supermarket to eat before we left, and at 8:30, everyone met in the lobby to leave. The group was...myself, Ian, Patrick, AJ, Ryan, Tara, Myra and Mindy. We got on the train to Koiwa, which is a few stops in the direction of Chiba, got off there and ended up getting separated. AJ, Mindy and I went to go find the place ourselves (though apparently the other people waited for us since they realized we were missing, lol), and actually found it first. We went up and everyone else weren't there (and the place was empty <.<) so we waited downstairs for them to get there. After waiting 10 minutes, we were just about to send out the search party (aka AJ) to find them, but they walked around the corner. We had a few drinks (well, I had one, lol), danced (Amongst ourselves), played darts (I sucked uber bad at first but then got better...I think i mostly sucked because I was tipsy for the first time...ever, wtf was in that drink! lol) and just hung out for a while. But the scene was kinda boring, so we ended up going to another bar that was close to the station.

Some of us had gotten free drink coupons by the station for this bar, so it was a good choice. :D We get there and there's far more people than the last, though it's not packed in any way. Order drinks, get em, and then the dancing starts. They took requests too so we got some pretty awesome music to dance to. As we're dancing, these two businessmen looking guys in the corner start taking videos and pictures of us and we're like...'well...oooook.' Ian tells me that they're taking pictures of me cuz apparently they're SO INTO ME, but turns out...they wanted Ian. LOL. He got his crotch groped several times by both guys and was bought many beers...so it was safe to assume that they weren't targeting me (or anyone of the female sex XD). But, as Ian said, they could just be into anything. :P After having a great time dancing and drinking, we decided to head back around midnight, headed to the station and got on the train. Inside the train, drunk AJ decides to start up a conversation with a poor, unsuspecting, old Japanese man (who was probably also drunk) and makes a bit of a scene (though it was a hilarious one).

At Kameido station, we end up getting split up again, as half the people decided that they were gonna take the wrong exit, despite us telling them not to. So Myra, Patrick, Ian and I get back to the mansion, refresh ourselves, then meet up again in the lobby to maybe go grab some food somewhere. We also run into Carlos and David, who were getting back from Shinjuku and they decide to join the four of us. After wandering just down the street, we happen upon this bar/dining place and decide to go in. They buy more beers. HAHAHA. Myra and I decide to order the fillet tonkatsu and I help her finish her beer. XD But then this barkeep lady starts bringing us stuff we didn't order, like even after saying they were out of sashimi, she brings us some, then some tomatoes, then some melon. And we're like, WOW, what great hospitality! But then we get the bill. 12000YEN. WTF. So we start itemizing how much stuff cost, (not including the melon, tomatoes or edamame since she just randomly gave those to us) and our bill is only supposed to be 6000yen. But the lady says that since we came in after midnight, we have to pay a 'sitting fee' of 1000yen per person, which is total BS because it says that NOWHERE and it was never mentioned when we came in. (and we asked her repeatedly if it was okay to order/buy stuff even though no one was there when we came in). I don't get why they would leave their doors open and allow customers in if they're going to charge them some hidden fee...unless they're deliberate scammers. Anywho, we just end up paying the bill, (albeit, not happily) and go back to the mansion around the corner. We tried to argue with her about it for a while but since none of us are that fluent, she pretty much took advantage of the fact that we were drunk (well, not all of us) foreigners. That isn't Japanese hospitality right there <.<

That pretty much topped off the night so we all called it a day around 2am. XD I came back to my room and went online until 3 and just woke up at 11. It's almost 12:30 and time for me to go to SUJU! :D

Stole these from Myra XD

Mindy, Tara and I ^^
