Night out in Shinjuku

So yesterday it was time for some more karaoke-ing. This time however, it was some sort of "class gathering". Oh, and also one of our teachers tagged along! At 7PM we met at Shin-Okubo station, and we decided to go to Shinjuku. While there we wandered around like headless chickens looking for a place to go. The problem in Tokyo is quite the opposite from my hometown - In Tokyo it's hard to just "get in" a place because there is so much of everything - everywhere! Too many choices... So you'll have to be decisive or else you're just going to wander around looking around forever.

Finally we found a spacey karaoke party place which was purely awesome =) The korean girls sang exclusively korean love songs, while we european folk stuck to the rock genre (Except for some Disney duet songs, of course!). The teacher sang mostly japanese extreme rock, which was really surprising. She's a hardcore Death Note fan, so she loved bands like "Nightmare" and "X Japan" who have both composed songs for that anime. She actually reminded me of "Misa Misa" from Death Note, for those of you who are familiar with the anime, haha.

After karaokeing we went to an english pub (but of course, no british people anywhere...). The teacher got a bit tipsy and fell down the stairs, which was both unfortunate and funny. While there we met a bunch of japanese people who insisted that we'd go with them to a smaller, more secluded bar. So we did, and we ended up in a strange little place which was about the size of a normal swedish room.

Oh, and two random swedes accidentally stumbled upon the bar as well, but I really didn't want to talk to swedish people all night so I told them I was a polish student named Jurrian. Of course my plan didn't work out that well, because they started to talk and brag of how cool and superior their country was compared to my old and rusty Poland. They even tried to teach me some Swedish, but they said my accent was off... In turn, I taught them "polish".

Anyway, I met some new cool japanese friends there, and at 6:00 AM it was time to return home :)

On a side note, I was supposed to go to a maid cafe with a few french people, but apparently they had been knocking on my door several times but I was sound asleep. But hey, if a 5.8 earthquake can't wake me up then why would a few puny french men!
