We’ve been mostly resting in the first part of the day. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ I was catching up on diary and photos, since I’ve been falling behind recently. It’s so difficult to write so much daily when there’s so many things happening.
We’ve had another meet up scheduled for today, this time with █████████████, the same guy I met during the last Japan trip.
Getting to Shibuya apparently was faster by bus. We got on a slightly wrong bus which would make us walk more and arrive 5 minutes later, but that was fine. We went out at 5:20 pm and it was already twilight. The bus ride was really beautiful… When getting off, I realized that we sat on priority seats, and I felt very embarrassed for it.
We got off at a pretty residential area, but then entered Dogenzaka and suddenly everything switched into night-district type thing, with an incredible atmosphere around.
A slightly more awkward greeting this time. █████████████ got mouth ucler and was kinda in pain to eat and talk, but he was still very fun just like before. As we drank beers things got better. I missed █████████████ translating things for us lol, Google Translate isn’t the same.
We ate a lot of yakiniku, all of it being yummy asf. I also tried a lot weirder meat like organ stuff, but even that was good. Nothing beat some simple sirloin though. That place was more expensive than I thought, we spent quite a lot…
After we felt like we ate enough meat, we’ve decided to switch somewhere else. We entrusted the local █████████████ to find something nice, and he walked us through incredible night Shibuya streets into a very local place. I haven’t seen a single foreigner around there despite the outside street bustling with people. God being drunk while it’s night in Dogenzaka is such a feeling. You have to experience it.
Despite all of us saying we were full, we still ended up ordering a bunch of Izakaya food, lol. Being drunk really makes you able eat much more. From here on it was way more fun and we talked the most. I felt like I actually got better at talking Japanese since it was a lot less awkward to make mistakes… We found out we are both quite decent at writing and reading but not speaking and listening in respective languages.
We then went to a crazy ass club that’s literally a church remade into a club. All employees were dressed as nuns and there was a big cross in middle with DJ blasting drum’n’base. This was my first time ever in a club, and overall it was very fun and I couldn’t stop thinking that it’s my first ever «proper» night out where I just go out to a bunch of places in a night-life district and club. I was very drunk at this point but it was very fun.
We went into a pachinko parlor because █████████████ told us it has nice and clean toilets, while station toilets are dirty and only used as a last resort, lol.
We followed him and he brought us to Shinjuku and showed us the cat banner thingy. I don’t know why, but for some reason I thought it was in Shibuya so I was confused why he was brining us to Shinjuku.
We separated in Shinjuku station and we went home. Even when I’m very drunk, I never really feel troubled at navigating myself back home. █████████████ made a few mistakes while walking even though she was the sober one, lol.
We walked into Lawson on the way back and bought a few things for the breakfast. From future: they aren’t as good as stuff from 7/11 and Famima.
