Tokyo Nightlife

On Friday, I had the Sake tasting at Roppongi, run by Temple. The sake itself wasn't bad, but it wasn't too good either. They had 7 different types available and a sake expert, John Gaunter was giving a speech and explanation of sake. Also in the same night were several performers including a shamisen player, models, and both contemporary and Japanese musicians. I ended up coming back late at night since the even didn't end until 11:00 PM.

Saturday, I had originally intended to go to Shibuya for some "field research" and I learned many things from this night that I would like to share:
1. Tokyo nightlife begins early. We got to the club around 8:00 and it was POPPING.
2. Some clubs are free or relatively inexpensive.
3. From what I found, the cheapest drinks are where all the other foreigners are.
4. Don't drink 151.

Of the places I went to that night, my favorites were a hip hop club (taken over by mostly Nigerians who according to my friend "were eyeing us down really hard") and the "3 Coins bar" a 300 yen drink place where a Gay Swede was hitting on me and my friends.

Sunday was a recovery day, I went to my friend's dorm and had to hear about how much of a d-bag I was. Other than that, pretty uneventful.

Lately, I've discovered that I can only make International Withdrawals at certain times of the day and TODAY, I found out that we can only make International withdrawals only at certain times, and today I've found out that I can only withdraw about 30,000 yen a day. This is why I've been unable to join Masato's gym. Daiguji said that I can pay my months ahead and I'll be set. BUT... I'm gonna have to start saving up for the next few days until I can do it. Hopefully tomorrow I can pull something off.
