LOL I couldn’t come up with a better blog title for this entry haha. YUM YUM RAMEN AND DOG TREATS!!! Hahahahaha!!!

Anyways, I’m in a mood for writing (read: the other option was to do school stuff…) so excuse me for writing a lot of boring stuff now! YOU ARE NOW WARNED.

Marcus was really cute and encouraged me to buy new shoes, since off brand-made of plastic only-shoes in Japan are pretty cheap (compared to Norway) and also because the heel on one of my boots broke and I needed a new pair.

I bought one pair pumps and two pair of boots (one with high heel). I forgot to take picture!

So even though I was thinking to not buy any shoes because I really can’t have much more things with me home because of the weight limit on the flight, I did. And I suck. 

I was really hungry so we we looked around for a place to eat – and we found one that looked good. Ajigen Kumamatsuri Okumura is the name of the place.

Food tickets machines are pretty common in casual restaurants Japan. They work like a regular vending machine, you decide what you want to have, press a button and put in money. The machine will print out a ticket for you, you give the ticket to the server. They prepare and serve the meal. Easy, and they don’t need to deal with any disgusting money!

Food ticket machine... They probably have a better suited name, but oh well.

Sapporo Miso-ramen!

I was really good, I ate all of it! I think you already know from the name, but THIS IS A RAMEN-NOODLE-THING prepared in Sapporo style. Marcus had Hakodate Shio ramen, which is… another kind of ramen from Hakodate. I want to taste all kind of ramen, but I guess that’s impossible for me lol.

After this, we weren’t ready to head home yet. It was raining so walking around in the rain wasn’t exactly tempting. We went inside discount chain store Don Quijote. They have almost everything you can imagine!

I got a little homesick when we came to the animal section… I saw a lot of cute clothing and snack for dogs. I’m always thinking about Mimi, but seeing all the dog stuff almost made me cry lol. Thinking that she is safe and taken good care of while I was away comforted me, though. My parents and siblings are very careful with her, she couldn’t have been at a better place.

Bought some presents to my baby girl Mimi, of course! Treats and clothing from Japan, haha! Lucky girl who has a mama that buy her new and exiting treats all the time~ She is just like me, she loves to taste new stuff!

I have to admit that I’m very strict about what Mimi can eat, more stricter than I am with myself. Like with food for myself, I check the back of the package to see what the snack is contained. The difference between me and her is… well, I ALWAYS do that with things I give to her while I once in a while don’t care when it comes to myself. I just want her to eat healthy.

She is very precious and she is so small – I don’t want her to eat something that might be bad for her. I know a lot of treats for dogs are made of things that things I WON’T let my baby girl eat. I once saw treats that contained added sugar, not joking! It might be that our pets would like the, but… whyyyyy?

This time buying treats was a little bit hard, though. There was a lot of prepared soft treats, which in most cases is containing a lot more of unnecessarily ingredients than what dried meat is. I can’t read any Japanese, and since I didn’t want to take the chance I bought some dried meat sticks. They probably have some preservatives like most stuff that isn’t fresh, but I won’t let her have many of those in a short time range.

…not that this has anything to do with the blog entry to do at all, I just… I don’t know. It felt great to write it down, even though I feel that some people that reads this will think something either negative or positive about me now. I might be a hypocrite, I know. She is probably eating a lot of weird stuff from the ground when she’s outside anyways. But it’s my responsible to take care of her and to be aware about what I am giving to her.

I just wonder if there is some other that feel this way about their pet? I sometimes feel that I’m overprotective… And people have told me that I was putting too much energy in this when I make home made treats out of pure meat.

She’s my precioussss after all.

WELL NO MORE DOG TREATS TALK.

We went home, and I was craving for some fruits and something light to eat. We went to 7-11, and apparently there was a lottery thing going on for those who had bought anything. Aaaand I won! GUESS WHAT I WON?

A coffee! YAY! Hahaha, LOL@ME,why I am always so silly?

That was unexpected! I usually never win anything!
Hahahha!

….

Ok, now. Back to schoolwork.

My next entry will be about Thanksgiving!

Do you see us? It's a smaaaall picture haha lol

LOL!!!!!!!

I was really surprised when I found out, I had no idea! Even though it isn’t something big, it’s still funny to see, like when I was in egg long time ago!

• SOUL SISTER vol.4

Ashley showed up 14.30 and while we waited for Shiena, some people from a TV channel spoke to us. Unfortunately I don’t speak any Japanese, but Ashley translated for me; they were interested in knowing phone messages and asked around about that if we had any interesting messages. I don’t have any messages in Japanese, but Ashley had a few funny and interesting ones, so the TV people wanted an interview. They wanted me to stand next to her while they did the interview lol.

A random picture of Ashley and me

It was really funny, because I couldn’t understand a shit but I had to pretend that I did and understood.And the interview was EXTREMELY long and a lot of people stopped and looked and took pictures. I wonder if this is how it feels to be a known person, a lot of random people taking pictures of you without asking for permission. I mean, it does happen that people do that – but usually they try to hide it and make it less obvious. This time people were standing in front of us taking pictures!

When we was finished with this interview thing, another TV reporter came and wanted to do an another interview. This time we said that we already had done one interview and didn’t have time for one more. I wonder if it’s here in front of Hachiko the TV channels find people to interview?

Shiena appeared and the three of us waited for their friend, Run-chan. If any of you are interested in manba-fashion, you probably know who this person is. A friend of Shiena and Ashley was there too; he was waiting for his girlfriend and had been waiting for two hours, poor guy. How it ended? He gave up, she never showed up…

In front of Hachiko - a place where people meet up

Run-chan showed up somewhere after 16:00, which means that I was standing in front of Hachiko for over two hours that day. LOL. It’s a good thing that it wasn’t that cold – or, not cold compared to Norway these times. But since I wasn’t prepared for waiting outside, I didn’t dress myself so good, so my fingertips was a little bit cold.

We decided to take a cab to Roppongi, since we were a bit late for the event. When we got off the cab, we quickly went into a convenience store to buy something hot to drink to warm us self up.

The event was held in a place named Studio FLOWeR. The entrance was only 1.000 JPY. I got told that a entrance fee is pretty common because a graduation usually cost a lot of money. Ashley and Shiena introduced to Yumi-nyan - who was helping with receiving entrance fee moneys from the guests. Ashley and Shiena also introduced me to the other members in their GAL-circle LOVE GAL’s. They were all really kind and nice!

As mentioned earlier, we were a little bit late so I don’t know if there was anything special I missed. When we got in, Sweet Licious was singing on the stage as entertaining. After that there was some time for free dance (they had hired in a really good DJ!) and free drinks! It had to end in all-you-can-drink! I was really surprised that we could get drinks for free, I mean – paying 1.000 JPY to get in is cheap enough – but getting free drinks too? Can’t complain!

Anyways, we went to the restroom to fix our makeup, and it ended up in taking a lof of funny photos together.

At first we tried to take some pictures of our self, but it was hard to take a picture where all four of us was in. And the ones in the mirror went blurry, because the we can’t use the flash in mirror pictures! So, what did we do?

We placed the camera somewhere and used the self timer. Why do I always forget the self timer?

Me, Shiena, Yumi-nyan and Ashley

Even though almost all the picture we took was so bad and blurry that we can’t use them, I still had a lot of fun. In this picture to the left you can see Yumi-nyan and me… showing you a Japanese toilet. lol. Don’t ask why.

When we went back, we sat down and listened to the graduating members of Club Heart holding speeches. They had changed into more formal clothes and they all looked so pretty!

Shiena was nice and translated a lot for me, so I got the chance to know what they talked about.

Basically, they were talking about memories they have together and about how much they gonna miss the circle. How much they appreciate the time they had with the circle and telling the younger generations to stay strong and good luck. The younger generation members also had speeches where they wished the graduating members good luck and such.

It was tears and laugh in the same time. I guess it must have been sad to leave, but also – graduating is actually considered as a great and big thing to do. You’ve been faithful to the circle till the end, and It’s better to graduate than leave a circle, for example.

The graduating member of Club Heart, 10th generation

One of the graduating members holding a speech. You can see in this picture that they were wearing a banner with the circle's logo! So cute :)

After the speeches they thanked the guests for coming and it all ended in more music and free dancing. I got the chance to say hi to even more people. People in Japan are in general really nice, and even though they know I don’t know any Japanese they still want to say something – even if body language is the way to go. This time Shiena translated for me, so I could actually understand what people tried to said. Japanese people tend to give compliments for one specific thing, I guess they are more observant about details than Norwegian people. So, in all – I heard a lot of fun compliments. One of them was when a girl told me my nose was pretty (she was so CUTE, haha!).

A picture of me :)

A friend of Ashley and Shiena, I can't remember his name, but I do remember they told me that he often is featured in the gyaruo magazine Men's Knuckle. I'm blurred out because it was such a unlucky picture of me lol

It all ended around 19:00-ish, and when we walked out, everyone got a booklet.

The cover of the booklet

Inside the booklet

Every graduating member had two pages dedicated to them. From what I got told, they wrote greetings to the younger generations and such. The pages were also filled with pictures of them self, friends and memories.

There was also greetings from other circles in the booklet, which I think is such and cute thing!

The whole thing about having a booklet is such a nice thing, guests can have a sneak peak into their personal thoughts and everyone can have the booklet as a good memory.

A picture Run-chan took of us, outside the location

We dedcided to go back to Shibuya to take one set purikura – we really can’t get enough of making these memories, right?

I had so much fun this day, and I’m happy I got the chance to be at a GAL graduation, thanks to Ashley and Shiena for inviting me. And also a huge thanks to Shiena for being so sweet and translating things for me!

• 大人顔メイク写メ＆クラハ引退式

And well, on this day we had planned to meet up with Yuri, a really sweet manba girl. I was thinking that she could help me! I have known her for some time, but only from online – and finally we can meet each other IRL! I know that she is married, and I really wanted to meet her husband as well. I suggested a double date, and she was really positive about it!

Most of my friends doesn’t have a partner – and the few that have; they’re usually not very attached and prefer to not bring their partner when we’re hanging out. And well, it kinda explain itself that it means that I shouldn’t bring my boyfriend with me either, it’s like a unwritten social rule. It isn’t a bad thing bringing your boyfriend – it’s just that friends need some time alone with each other for some friend talk, not because we’re ashamed of our lovely boys or is hiding anything. Giving each other advice and let out frustrations, for example. One example is my CG girls, I love being with them alone – we always talk about our boys and love-life in general. It would be strange if any boys were with us while we talked about our girl stuff!

But I have to admit that I really missed to be with someone that is… hm, how do I explain this… someone that is more attached to their boyfriend. I would love to involve my boyfriend in what I’m doing and my friends- but I would feel it would be better if he had someone he could talk to which would understand his situation more. It’s kinda hard to explain, but… Yeah, just so it doesn’t feel unbalanced in case my extremely girly side is showing lol.

So yeah, I was really exited about this double date. I’ve never done a double date before. I will be with Marcus and I can still be super girly with Yuri without worrying about Marcus feeling left out because Yuris husband is there too!

Anyways, I told Marcus that I had some stuff I wanted to do with Yuris help so I was alone when I first met them. We went to 109MEN’S because I had planned on buying some presents to Marcus there And well, I couldn’t do this alone as I needed some people to translate/ask for me because buying clothes to other people is one of the hardest thing to do, imo. I’m always unsure about size… I don’t want to buy something too small/short or big/loose. I also know that Marcus has a long torso, which made me more unsure as the clothes seemed very short.

I’ve worn some of Marcus’ clothes before, and when I was looking I tried to compare them to the clothes I’ve tried. The shop staff told me that I could try the clothes on, but I have to say it would feel weird to go to a men clothing shop and try on men clothings………..

I told them all that I was buying presents to my boyfriend, and they all seemed very surprised. I mean, I thought it was pretty obvious - I don’t think it looked like I was doing a masculine style that day, but yet it seemed like most of them thought I was buying clothes for myself.

One of them also told me that my boyfriend was lucky and that I was really kind. It might not be so common to buy clothes as presents, I don’t know?

I ended up buying a slim fit top from Rhydeal by Silver Bullet and a wired collar shirt from Xfrm. Things I think would look good on Marcus. I hoped that he would like them.

I have always thought that the clothes in the ordinary 109 store were expensive – it’s not like the fabric is containing any exclusive materials or are made with nice handcraft – but the prices in 109MEN’S are seriously ridiculous. The clothes in 109MEN’S was twice as expensive. One example is a simple cotton top from Xfrm: they cost around 12.000 JPY while a party top from d.i.a. top cost 6.000 JPY. For a top from Xfrm you could get a small item from Louis Vuitton. oh lol

To be honest, I think it’s kinda silly that they cal sell these stuff for such a high price… I know people are crazy about brands, but why not buy from a brand that is also known for their quality and materials

Anyways, I’m really happy Yuri and her husband was with me – without them I would have trouble with communication as the shop staff tend to be very talkative even though I don’t know any Japanese and them not knowing any English at all. Thank you so much!

Me in front one of 109MEN'S entrances

We met Marcus, and I gave him the presents~ We decided to go to eggnam to take some purikura! And of course we had to touch up our makeup before, so we spent thousand hours in front of the mirror. lol

Me and Yuri

Marcus opened his presents and he said he liked them. He even decided to put on the top from Rhydeal!

He looks so good in it~

The four of us took one set purikura, and they ended up really cute and pretty. It was so fun! I think the pictures are much prettier when the smile is more “real”. We all looked so happy and in love in all of the pictures.

Yuri and I wanted to take one set alone~ Since there wasn’t anyone in queue behind us, we had unlimited time to decorate. Of course we had to take advantage of that! Poor boys that had to wait for us, but the results was really nice! There is always at least one picture I don’t like, but this time I liked all of them!

<

We decided to go to somewhere to eat, we all started to get hungry. We went to izakaya place Kin no Kura (same place as last time I went izakaya).

Some of the food we ordered *______*

My favorite of all the things we ordered... Ahhhhh, I would do anything to eat this again now!!!!!!

The food was good, like last time. I understand very well why izakaya is so popular; you can get almost everything, everything is cheap and the food comes fast.

It was nice to sit down and talk… When I was younger I preferred to do stuff, but now I prefer to sit and talk. Funny how things changes so fast. I would probably have suggested to go out clubbing so we could meet new people, but now it feels more right to sit and enjoy food and drink with and learn to know the people I’m hanging out with a little better.

We talked about how things were in the past and future plans with our loved ones… Well, I’ve always wanted to talk about someone that feel the same way like I do. Yuri and I seem to have the same views on many things! I wish them the best, and I hope we can meet each other again soon.

:)

We sat there for a long time, and in the end we all had to go because it was starting to get late and we all didn’t want to miss the last trains. This was an successful night and I hope I can do double-dates more often in the future, and I would also love to hang out with Yuri and her husband again!

Thanks to Yuri for sharing some of her pictures!

I told Marcus to tilt his head, and he did – but only for a few seconds. I got a little bit tired of asking him to tilt his head all the time, and decided to braid it without caring about where and how I braided it. I had a hard time trying to NOT laughing my ass off, it looked really silly.

When I was done, I told Marcus  go to the mirror and check. I could hear on his voice that he wasn’t really happy about his new hairstyle – but he’s so polite so he tried to tell me that he liked it. I couldn’t hold my laugh back. I told him to come back and let me correct his braids – and this time I didn’t need to remind him to tilt his head.

And lemme tell you, second try was no doubt much better! Maybe I should do braids on him more often!

I think the braids looks cool on him!

We went to Keio University. They have a school festival every year and we were thinking that we could go and check it out.

There were some singing/dancing as entertaining and a lot of cozy stands with students selling different kinds of food. Of course we had to buy some! We tried sausage, shio-yakisoba and some kind of spring rolls.

DERP. Me holding a sausage (have I ever told you guys that I LOVE sausages?) and soda.

Marcus with shio-yakisoba

We weren’t there for a very long time, though. All the noises made me stressed – it was very common in Japan that people are advertising for their shop/stand/whatever by shouting what they have to offer and where. And imagine people in every corner doing it… It was a funny experience!

A guy telling people to take a visit to his stand :)

We looked around, and when it wasn’t so much more to see – we decided to go somewhere else. We ended up in a karaoke bar for some time. 

And guess what we did after that? We went to a McDonalds.

I didn’t buy anything there, though! But still. I don’t understand how I managed to go to McDonalds so often.

What was I thinking?

Two friends of Marcus, I will call them P and A, asked us if we wanted to join them this evening. Since we didn’t have any specific plans anyways we were thinking why not.

We went to a place called “Dan”, a Izakaya restaurant located in Nakameguro.

Me and A.

Sake, the waitress poured the liqueur in the glass, and she let it run over (did I explain it right? ;_; ) so the square thing was filled with liqueur too. We drank from the glass and when we finished it we poured the sake from the square box-thing back in the glass. Idk if this is a tradition or what, but this is how I got told to drink it. It was weird, but also funny :)

We ate a lot of different stuff, but this is the only picture I took...................................... I hate myself.

P and Marcus

oh lol

We went somewhere nearby, but the drinks were a little expensive so we decided to go somewhere else instead, I think. All I can remember is that we took a cab to Shibuya .

Shibuya, that day.

We wanted to sing karaoke so we decided to go to Big Echo. While we walked, my heel started to get more loose… Of course, the way I walked only made the problem worse. I guess I COULD have been a little bit more careful, but I was thinking I was gonna buy new shoes soon anyways .

Found a mirror in the karaoke lounge... So had to take a pic! My outfit! top: H&M, jacket: Lipsy, gloves: Morris, belt: D.I.A., scarf: Glitter, pants: D.I.A, boots: Wild Rose

Singing with Marcus’ friends was a lot of fun! I don’t know how much time we spent there, but my throat was really sore so it means we were singing a lot!

Unfortunately, this is the online-friendly picture I took. lol

When our karaoke time was over, Marcus and I decided to go home. My heel was really bad, almost falling off. It was  so bad that I basically couldn’t walk on it anymore. It was too late to buy a new pair of shoes – the stores were closed. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before heading home we took a new set of purikura! Of course.

While we decorated the purikura, we realized that the last train home was going any minute… We had to run. And well, running with high heels isn’t a problem,  since I mostly walk on the toes anyways. Running with one broken heel wasn’t that hard. BUT the sound of the metal heels smashed down on the ground for every step I took was sooo horrible, though – I can image how weird it must have been to see a girl running down Center Gai with this loud sound from her broken metal stiletto heel.

We managed to get on the last train, even though I was so slow. We were really lucky there! Unfortunately, I somehow managed to hurt my feet. So when we got off  the train, I wanted to rest somewhere – and this somewhere is not surprisingly a McDonalds. 

And, well – it’s actually kind of embarrassing to post it online – but my excuse is that I wasn’t really thinking. Here is what Marcus and I ordered:

No comments. I know what you're thinking.

And since I’ve been writing so much about my broken heel, I’m pretty sure some of you wonder how bad the damage was.

...My heels... FML, right? I miss these shoes so much!

I’m not sure how much time we spent in McD, but we was there for a really long time – I was pretty sure my feet was better, but I was totally wrong. After walking 20 steps we decided to take a cab home. LOL, I’m such a stupid girl sometimes.

Edit: I first wrote that I drank umeshu but Marcus corrected me and said that we drank a sweet sake.

I asked Marcus if it could be that they were waiting for us somewhere else or that they had left already, and we decided that it would be smart if Marcus could look around while I waited, just in case they came later. I was waiting for some time and suddenly Maki and a British friend of her appeared. I apologized for being late, but she told me she were also late. She told me she tried to call Marcus, but couldn’t reach him. I explained for her that we didn’t have cell phones with us. She also told me that Kohta were late.

PHEW!!! We thought that we were late, but lucky us everyone else were late too!!! Believe it or not, although I’m late very often I actually hate being late.

We were supposed to eat at The Lock-up in Shibuya, but ended up in Alcatraz. Both of the restaurant has a “horror-ish” theme. I have been in different restaurants with funny and interesting themes before, but not something like this! I hadn’t heard of Alcatraz before, but I’ve heard a lot about The Lock-up. According to Maki Alcatraz isn’t very different, and since she have been in The Lock-up more than in Alcatraz, we decided to go to Alcatraz!

To be honest, I think it was more kinky than scary… I’ll let you see what I got later. First, I wanna show you what Maki ordered:

Maki was driking from this cute boy's... or girl's head! Boy or girl, the hairstyle was AWESOME~~~

Maki's friend and his drinks!

Marcus and I with our drinks, lol

My drink hahahahaha

I’m not sure what I think about Alcatraz, though… It was cool to experience one of these horror themed restaurants, but I won’t let them have more money from me. We had to pay table fee and the food and drinks were expensive – which isn’t really that bad considering that it’s not common to pay tips in Japan. But in this case I wish I could pay tips instead of table fee. The good thing about tipping is that you’re giving a feedback and a waiter would usually give better service.

The drinks are very funny, but that didn’t save me from being disappointed when I saw how little we got. The food was also nothing to be happy about, like with the drinks; we got very little for the money.

It wasn’t expensive compared to Norwegian prices, but compared to other places I’ve been in Tokyo and around the world in general. I know you’re kinda paying for the experience too, but the experience wasn’t exactly worth it.

There were shows there every hour, but in my opinion the “”"show”"” was just a man in some kind of a costume in the dark walking around in the dark trying to scare people. lol. I have to admit that I was screaming like crazy when he sat next to me – but it was more like because it’s how I react when a stranger sit next to me in the dark. lol

The service there was also really bad, the waiter never came to ask if we wanted to order or to check if we needed something. Every time we wanted something we had to make a lot of noises to get attention.

We had our own room – I like it when we can sit alone without being disturbed. But that’s the only positive thing I can tell about this place. For some people this might be a bad thing as some people would feel that we were kind of isolated. I’m a person that likes to be in more private settings when eating/drinking so I can pay more attention to the people I’m with, so this was perfect for me.

I wouldn’t recommend them… It MIGHT be fun if you’re in a silly mood and aren’t planning on going somewhere else later. If you’re going to spend even more money on a club later – save your money for something else instead. It can be really expensive if you decide to eat and drink here.

Anyways, Kohta came a little bit later and it was nice to see him again.

Kohta and I with the restaurant poster thing!!!

We decided to go to Club Camelot to have some fun. Unfortunately, Kohta had to leave already.

Inside the club, a girl talked to at me. I was a bit surprised and though that she probably thought I was someone else – but after a second I realized that it was Marina, the girl I met last week! So random! Jarrod was there too. Marina asked me if I was doing YouTube videos, and I said that I have an account where I uploads blog related videos, but that I’m not really a vlogger. She told me I should meet one YouTuber, and introduced me to Philip. I recognized him, my gyaruo friend Max is featured in one of his videos which someone linked to me long time ago!

Club Camelot was a really nice club with 5 (if I remember right?) floors. If you get in early the entrance fee isn’t much – and the drinks are 500 JPY only! I noticed that the DJ’s love to play the same songs… It seems like the 109 stores and the clubs in Tokyo are playing the same CD with music from 2005, lol. But I don’t mind, the songs are good and mixed well together!

I hope I can come back to this place one day!

After this Marcus and I went to McDonalds, again. LOL!! I don’t know why we always end up in McD??? We’re the king and queen of McDs!!!

And just because we love to have pictures of us together – we had to take some purikura:

Shit, I really can’t remember so much more about this day… I’m starting to forget… I don’t remember the details if I don’t have a picture of it… I really, really need to finish my blog posts asap!!!

Lolllllll, after the responses I got on the last entry about the date format change, I decided to switch back to the old way as it seems like it wasn’t only here in Norway that writes date before month! Thanks for telling me everyone! I like it much better this way anyways, so I’m happy I can have it like this!

About this entry, I finished this entry long time ago – but somehow I had forgot about it and didn’t publish it! Stupid me. But here you go!

I was still a bit tired from our sightseeing in Hakone earlier that day, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to go clubbing. Marcus and I decided to go to Roppongi that night.

The last train to Roppongi was going from our place a little bit after midnight, so I didn’t have time to do anything else than my hair at home. I hurried up, did my hair and packed my makeup. We left our place around 00.00 and took the train to…. somewhere. I can’t remember the name, but I remember we had to walk the rest of the way to Roppongi. Well, walking itself isn’t the biggest problem but walking around in heels that has started to fall off is… not what I prefer to walk with. Gah.

We arrived Roppongi 01:00, found a McDonalds (McD). We sat there and I did my makeup there. It’ surprising how many McDs that exist here! I’ve seen them everywhere, in almost every bigger streeets. And even more surprising, a lot of them are open 24/7.

I…finished my makeup 02:20, loooooooool.

We first went to a bar called Black Horse if I remember right. It was free entrance, but the drinks were rather expensive – not surprisingly. Marcus and I had a lot of fun, and when we finished our drinks we decided to go to an another place. Bar/club jumping, kinda.

While we walked there was a lot of people that tried to convince us to get in to their bar or club. A lot of them will tell you that it’s free entrance, but when you get there they will tell you to pay entrance fee which will include drinks coins/tickets worth the same price as the entrance fee. Which is, well – not exactly what they told us in the beginning. It might sound like a good deal, but in reality you’re actually risking putting your money on something that might suck.

What if you get in and find out that the bar/club isn’t good after all? Then you’re stuck there until you’re finished with your drink(s) AND the drink menu might even be limited for you since you’re paying with drink coins/tickets. So my tip is, if you can’t research in beforehand or haven’t heard any recommendations and need to find something on your own; stay away from those places. Don’t waste your time on such bars/clubs. If the place is good, they wouldn’t have this stupid thing telling people that the entrance is free when it isn’t, simply enough. It’s just a cheap way to get in customers.

Anyways, while Marcus and I walked around, one guy told us to go to his place. It was free entrance and the first drink would be cheap if we brought with us his visit card, he told us. We were thinking, well, it was only a few steps away so why not?

As he said, it was free entrance, and we got drinks at reduced prices with the ticket BUT we could only pick from a few drinks. And of course, all of them really sucked. And there was no one else there but a handful of people either, lol. Super awkward.

Marcus paid the drink with a 5.000 JPY bill, and was promised to get the changes back a little bit later. They explained to him that they didn’t have enough changes. Marcus got served his drink, but did not get the changes back.

Like, isn’t this giving the place a bad impression enough already? I mean, how can a bar NOT have enough changes for 5.000 JPY?????? What if there was a lot of customers there, would they tell everyone to wait for the changes? Would it even be possible to remember how much people are supposed to get back??? I doubt.

When they came back to Marcus they asked if he paid with a 1.000 bill JPY.

No.fucking.way!!!!!! How can they insist on letting their guests wait for their changes, and later not remember how much they have to pay back the guests? For me, this place didn’t seemed serious at all.

Luckily Marcus got his money, and right after we finished the drink we left.

Basically, all we did that night was club/bar jumping – and I saw a lot of stuff.

I have to say that I was very surprised about how different nightlife was in Roppongi than in… let’s say, Shibuya. There was a lot of people being too drunk everywhere… Girls sleeping on the streets, people throwing up in every corner. Well basically, the whole Roppongi smelled like vomit. LOL

At first I got very surprised that people were vomiting in clubs and such, but I got used to it after a while. Really classy, eh?

After a while we went back to Black Horse. It started to get really crowded there and basically people were really drunk. I saw a lot of stuff. People fighting, old man with backpack dancing idk what he did, and so on.

When we got tired, we picked up our stuff in the locker and went to a McD and had breakfast there. I ordered a McMuffin, but it didn’t look like a muffin????????????????? It was more like a burger with sweet bread??? I was expecting a muffin-muffin????

According to Marcus, I nagged about this muffin-burger thing for quite a long time, and I remember that he was really tired of it. Ooops. I was really sad when he told me to stop and just eat it instead, loooool.

Me, being sad, eating this """"""""muffin""""""""""

I still wanna know why they named this thing a muffin!!!!!!!! And since I have a lot of smart readers, maybe some of you know why???

We went home right after the morning trains started to go. I guess I was really tired, because I seriously can’t remember anything after getting on the train.

Anyways, I had a lot of fun with Marcus and this experience was absolutely something I won’t forget – this was a really crazy night. My impression about nightlife in Tokyo is exactly like everywhere else I’ve been – crazy, skanky but totally fun!
