Plus, I am soooo drunk. I haven't been drunk since I came to Japan. I mean, how do you get drunk on little half-pint size non-dark beers? Huh? I mean really! Well, I just had four, count them, 4!!! Guiness (not the best stout in the world, but when that is the only stout....). I mean, I'm pissed (the brits have rubbed off on me). Plus, I might get an email for a conversation partner (to learn japanese and teach english). Best 4400 yen I've ever spent.
Nice parts about this bar:
* everyone was friendly. The brits, the canadian, the japanese.
* there was guinness (at 900-en aka $8 a pint, but still...)
* the music was great
* I have somewhere to take my husband on friday (he's coming here on thursday! yay!)
* I was tempted to smoke (only happens in social situations where I'm drunk and having a good time. I have not actually ever personally smoked).
* my seafood pizza was strange but well, tasty.
* the japanese guy that insisted on talking to me AFTER I was waaaaay intoxicated and the group was playing so I couldn't hear a damn thing he said. The brit next to me agreed that an essential social skill in Japan is to nod one's head and smile and/or laugh.
* The walk home. I was exhilirated. Plus, I felt completely safe. Can't say that about the US.
So, all and all a good night. Better than working. (I had planned to pick up dinner, go home and work. That is insane in retrospect.)
So good night it was. Best in a while. Japan is very certainly a cosmopolitan place.
I am, by the way, still waaaay intoxicated. It is very hard to type.
I love beer. (But I love my husband more -- he makes beer.)
That is all.
