Today is Australia Day. Celebrating Australia Day in Japan was very different to being in Australia. The Japanese people had no idea about Australia Day until we explained to them what it was all about. There were certainly no big firework displays today, but even still we wanted to celebrate it ourselves. After work we all decided to put on some Australia gear and go out for tea.
No one seemed to really take notice of what we were wearing. After tea we headed out to karaoke where we sang some songs and had a few drinks. We joined some of the Americans again. There were a few Japanese people in the Karaoke room too and they ended up paying for the whole evening. I couldn’t believe it. It would have been quite expensive too. Well over $100, and these people didn’t even know us. After Karaoke we went to a pub called Coast. This pub was pretty good. 
We danced the night away. Our Australia gear was popular in this pub with everyone wanting to know why we were wearing it. We got home around 3am.
