Japan - Day 2 - Oct 7 2006

Our next stop was a nightclub called Muse. It's full of foreigners so we kinda felt more at home. Music over here was a little better too. Beef felt like being the go-between between us and everyone else so he was like - "Hi, what's your name? Yukiko? This is my friend, Todd! It was almost like being in a booking club in Korea! haha We all had fun though dancing and talking story. So we finally left the club at closing time which was 5am. We found some Vietnamese place to eat and get rid of some of our alcohol and by the time we came outside it was daylight! I think we took a taxi back to the hotel but it was kind of a blur.

I think we woke up around 130pm after some snoring battles with Mike. We headed out to get some breakfast, well really lunch and we found a really good tonkatsu place which hit the spot. We walked around Shinjuku and I saw this little pet shop with the cutest puppies and kittens! Wish I could've taken em home. Saw a melon selling for 10,000 yen or around $90! It's kinda like a super expensive rich people give to each other to show off.

We met up with a bunch of people at a place in Roppongi called Gonpachi. This is the restaurant that they based the fight scene from Kill Bill Vol 1 with Uma vs a hundred Japanese crazies, the girl with the flying spiked ball and Lucy Liu. It was way smaller than the movie set but you could definitely see the resemblance. It was kinda cool being in someplace that was in a movie. The food was really good and I was able to taste foie gras for the first time and probably the last time. Yech! Sorry Mimi!

Next stop was to a mellow bar up the street where we had some mixed drinks, shots, and even Soco with lime! Got a little hungry so I went to the nearby convenience store for a musubi and warm coffee. They have the best musubis in Japan! BTW, 7-11s in Japan DO NOT have slurpees so I don't know if I would be able to move there.

Next stop - Feria, another nightclub in Roppongi which was way too crowded! There was supposed to be four floors open but only two were so it was super packed. There were so many foreigners that you wouldn't even know you were in a foreign country. You could barely move around let alone dance but we hung out there till around 5am. We grabbed some cheap ramen ($5) close by and caught the train home....
