Tokyo Cont......

Once we dropped our luggage off we decided to have a wonder around Shinjuku which was the part of Tokyo we were staying in. First impressions of Tokyo was amazing. It was busy, fast moving and exciting, just how I imagined it! The first thing we did was to walk into a camera store so that Marie could buy a new camera as she had a little disaster with her old one. Within 10 minutes we had found the one we wanted and were on our way again. How’s that – the first corner we turn was a camera shop! We were amazed at how busy life was in Tokyo and were amused by just watching people walking by.

For dinner we headed to Roppongi which is another very happening place in Tokyo. The nightlife here was fantastic. There was never a dull moment or a ‘dead’ street. We ate in a little Italian restaurant before heading out to a club. We went to a club called Muse where we were going to meet some of our American friends. This club was free for ladies but $20 for men. We got inside to find it not happening at all and so decided that we didn’t want to stay. We rang our friends and told them that we weren’t going to meet them.
We headed back to Shinjuku to find some night life there. We felt better being here because we could just walk back to our hotel. From Roppongi it would have been about a $60 taxi ride home. We were eventually guided into a Hip Hop club which was the most lively club that I have experienced in Japan so far. The music was good and the people in there were all awesome dancers. We spent the next few hours dancing the night away before we thought we better hit the sack as we had to get up early the next morning.
