100% pretty cool.
Sorry about not blogging for a while, the place hosting my pictures is lame but I sorted it out, I hope…
On Tuesday morning (ish) we went for a japanese curry, which is basically a load of pretty spicy sauce with some carrots in. Bit weird - I`m glad I got extra gyudon with it.
Then we went to Ginza, to the 100% Chocolate Cafe. Like anything in Japan, if it`s got some sort of theme, you can expect them to have seriously taken it to phase two.
So I was only slightly surprised/upset by their cheese and collagen flavoured chocolates.
I got chocolate cake and a fizzy chocolate-orange drink. My friend got a fizzy chocolate-banana-lime-mint flavoured drink. Both drinks were seriously foul, but the cake was pretty good.
I couldn`t tell you why but we went with `Cheese` and `Vanilla Spicy`.
I didn`t think the cheese would be like those Kraft cheese squares, but it was. I hate that stuff as it is, but it was way worse as chocolate for some reason. I tried to be clever and wash it down with my drink, but the drink was cold and kept the chocolate hard so I actually had to chew it.
Vanilla Spicy was really nice though, to be fair.
My friend went to an hour of Kabuki theatre (which also meant queuing up for an hour before it started), but…
I had to meet my buddy Paul for some beer, soy snacks and… fish.
The trouble without a picture menu or english translations is that sometimes you will order chargrilled chicken cartilage and chicken fat skewers.
After hiding my skewers in a bag (Paul ate all of his), we checked into a hotel.
They have these awesome drinks in Japan that are like Red Bull but way stronger. We drank some of those and went to Shinjuku.
We were harassed literally every five minutes by guys harassing us into either going to strip shows or having sex with french girls for 2000 yen.
It got really old really quickly. The only place we`d actually wanted to go was totally dead and we only had an hour left until the last train anyways.
On our way back we found this lovely place.
They didn`t actually sell owls or monkeys like the sign would suggest, but they did sell lots of puppies.
Here is a picture of my super spacious capsule and the cheapest bottled water ever. It had a great sticker but you can`t really see it.
