Here it comes...
 

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:
Hilton beers at 6:00. Hard Rock Fajitas and 1,800 yen beers. Nigerian touters. Brazilian tats. 4,000 yen champagne. A pursuing fight at the register. 900 yen bottles at Motown. No sleeping allowed. 5:00AM Rahmen. A short nap and shower at the hotel. 10:00AM Dennys. The “Don’t swear here” couple from Orange County….so funny. A helluva long ride home. My sweet sweet home in Kobe. So happy to be back. What a ride that was.

Did someone say recession?
