Here's you update from Wednesday night my friends...
Did something you can't do in the bars in the US, and that' s get loaded on Absinthe. In all honesty, it felt very different than drinking typical liquor. Head felt very heavy, shoulders and arms too. Had five glasses, it had the sugar cube and everything, tasted like liquorce (sp).
Now back at apartment, 12:57 am here, drinking a delicious beer called (or what's left of it since my friend just dropped a mattress on me and made this can look like a champagne volcano.) "Green Label" and I think it's made by Kirin. Nothing planned tomorrow because we're resting to go to a gigantic fireworks festival tomorrow night, and also going with my friend's girlfriend and her family. Her dad is an architect here, and knows english pretty well, and has bought tons of japanese liquor for us all to enjoy tomorrow night. From the sound of things he is a champ at boozin'.
One interesting thing I've learned here is that when you talk to girls that know a little english, their main pick up line, according to my friend, is "Will you teach me english?" That basically translates to "We can go wherever you want and do whatever you want tonight." It's amazing. We talked to a girl at this British bar we were drinking the absinthe at, she knew a decent amount of english and was eager to impress.
Drunk me, of course, breaks out one of my band pins I have with me and tell her that I'm in an American rock band, and you'd have thought I was Michael Jackson. Gonna miss this place when I'm back home and there's actually little that's special about being a white singer and guitar player. :D
But this place is a blast, truly. Lots of inspiration for songs, going home with some big dreams of wishing I could one day wake up and Chicago would be half this laid back and tolerant. We saw two girls get up from their table next to us, both of them left their purses, shopping bags, and one Louis Vitton wallet that had to have costed $500+ (learned today that Tokyo is LV's biggest market in the world) and no worries about leaving that stuff unattended.
Pisses me off. My girlfriend has had her purse stolen at a bar in Chicago, and her car broken into and stereo stolen in just the first half of this year by miserable fucking theives, worthless creeps that no one should give a shit about. Always having to watch your back in the US, always. You know how it is! But here, no worries. LIke I said, going to miss it majorly.
Night night.
