Alright, I need to start getting this down a lil faster, cuz my memory is already slipping about events. So, day 3, Joel has this day off (Thursday) so we get up, and don't do much until we hear from Megumi (Meg to you). Meg is a friend from Denton, and she's about as Denton as a Japanese person can get. Which means she's very Denton. In a good way. We are also going to meet her beau (Toshi or Toshiro....I never can remember his name. Good guy, though.) who used to live in S.F. and another ex-Dentonite, the lovely Yasuko, who I vaguely remember from some place in Denton.
We meet up with them at around 3 or so, and Meg takes us into these little back alley joints (in Shinjuku, which we were just in the previous night). Small dirty little venues for eating and drinking. Oh, and it's raining, which kinda makes this area seem even more cooler. Japan is like Korea in that they both eat when they're drinking, and drink when they're eating. Good combination, I think. So, we get some draft beer (served by a robotic beer dispenser, don't know what else to say about it), and some yakatori, and a bowl of soup filled with intestines and shit I like, and Joel hates. It's all great fun, chit-chattin' and catchin' up. Next, Meg and gang takes us into the Golden Gai area where we find a place that let's us stay there without paying an extra fee (they charge you for just sitting down in those lil bars, like $20 or more) and we continue eating yakatori and drinking. Meg and I got hooked on the deep fried cheese balls, but it was all good. After that, Yasuko had to leave us cuz of work the next day (ㅠㅠㅠ) so we decide to go back to Meg's and smoke some MOTHER FUCKIN' WEED, DOG. Shit, that was good. We watched some Pulp Fiction too, and some other stuff. It was all good confusing. Anyway, Joel n I left at some point, and headed back to the homestead. We stopped at McDonald's on the way back and fuckin' chewed on that and passed out and dreamed of angels.
