Dancing - FUN FUN FUN: In Tokyo

18th August, 2007

Since we happened to be in Tokyo on a Saturday night we couldn’t resist going out and having a bit of a dance. We got ready with our essentials - sunglasses (as everyone in clubs here wear them?!) and headed out for the night. (We didn’t really wear our sunglasses out but we just bought new ones so we put them on!).


We were staying in Shinjuku at the Washington Hotel again so we decided to stick to the area. We wandered for a while trying to find the place that Marie and I went to last time but soon realised that we had no idea where it was. It was time to resort to the black guys (they are paid to take you to their clubs). We found a couple standing on the street and we asked them to take us to a hip hop place. We walked for a while and eventually ended up at the same place that we went to last time – how coincidental is that??

When we first walked in at about midnight it was pretty dead and the music was pretty average. We weren’t too keen on the atmosphere and we thought that we were going to have an early night. WRONG!! The atmosphere soon picked up – people started coming in and the music slowly got better and better.

We made friends with a group of Japanese people where one of them was having a birthday. It was quite bizarre because all of a sudden we were getting free tequila shots. We didn’t say no but somehow they just seemed to keep on coming. Where they were coming from exactly who knows….but we definitely were enjoying ourselves. They birthday girl got a bottle of champagne from someone and we all toasted to her birthday. It was funny how Marie, Lauren and I seemed to get right in on the act!! I reckon we ended up with about 4 or 5 free drinks each.



We all were pretty piped up and lively – so much so that it was 4:30am when we realised that it was probably time for us to head home as we had to check out of our hotel at 10am the next morning. It was a great night but we definitely paid for it the next morning.
