Late Update

Ctownz here, sorry for the delay in posts. Luckily we've been pretty busy.

The last few days have been pretty nice. Our roommate, this Australian guy named James, is a pretty cool guy, and we've met some awesome other people at the hostel who we've gone out with the last few nights. Namely this Belgian girl named Angaelle, or however the hell you spell it, and Louie, who we dubbed "The White Ninja." Darsh should be posting later, so I'll entrust him with that detail. It'll most likely be in caps-lock. We've been stocking up on carbs from a solid diet of practically pure noodles, but at least all noodles in Asakusa are friggin' delicious. Not many exciting events during the day, just been shopping, etc. However, the nights have been... Interesting.

Lots of wandering through Shibuya. Also, completely accidentally ended up in Roppongi one night when we thought we were in Shinjuku. Long story short, Nigerian bar owners are not to be trusted. Shibuya, on the other hand, was much more fun. (Roppongi was too I suppose, just not in the standard definition of fun) We went there last night with aforementioned White Ninja.

Our night in Shibuya started with what could only be described as a song and dance number. The four of us strutting down the street, swag flying everywhere, while snapping in rhythm. A few others joined after thirty seconds or so. If there were any Japanese people who didn't already think Americans were stupid/crazy I'm sure we fixed that for them. The night ended with us wandering around in pouring rain trying to find this place that we became more and more convinced didn't exist. It was like Arthur and his cronies searching for the Holy Grail. Kind of. Though in our defense we did find it at the very end, even though it turns out we passed right in front of it three times. The place really needs a fucking sign or something.


And some misadventures happened in the middle, but what happens in Shibuya stays in Shibuya. T'was fun though, and I'll leave it at that. 


P.S. Adarsha should be posting some pictures from the last few days later tonight.
