Gaijin-in-JapanBlogging direct from Kobe, Japan
Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm different and I like it that way. Why else would I decide to leave San Francisco and live here forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe. |

I got back last night from a trip to Tokyo and a presentation at JALT. Roppongi ate us alive. I had never heard of the Nigerian touters (Australian word, I think). The presentation went well; got a couple job offers. Yay! I met some great people in the three hours I was actually in attendance. I wish I could have stayed longer but I had a date with John in Roppongi via Shinjuku. Just like the old days. I’m totally censoring this post and will even have to censor the next podcast. Actually, I don’t think I could even say what I did because it shames even me, but that’s what having fun in another city is allllll about. Let’s just say, HUGE beautiful Brazilian woman with big tats, a pole, and 4,000 yen glasses of champagne. Enough said….well…one thing should be said. I never touched her. So I took the night bus up and the day bus back. I took the more expensive 7,600 yen double decker up. It was nice. And then took the same bus back for 5,000 during the day. Go figure. So for about 15,000 I got a trip up to Tokyo, less the 400,000 yen we spent at the bar. We…haha…they spent. My night out summarized: Did someone say recession?
