Tokyo, Day 48 (Blues club)

Tokyo, Day 46 (Halloween Party at Annex!)
This day was one of the best days in Tokyo! It was Halloween Party at Khao san Annex! We actually rented a bed there just so we could be at the party. We came to the party at 7 p.m. The first thing we saw when we came in was Akira, the boss, dressed up in a really funny costume! The staff were also dressed up it funny costumes. A witch,wizard,cat, geek, wrestler, guru, clown. Me and Robin checked in and ran upstairs to change to our costumes in our room. When we came down, in our costumes, everyone started laughing. They thought the maid costume was hilarious! Everyone wanted to take a picture of me. Everyone wanted to stand next beside me to take a photo. I didnt mind at all. As long as they had a good time, and they did! They had a bar as well. All drinks were 200 YEN, wich is preatty damn cheap! thats not even $2 for a drink. After a while the staff announced that they were having a Wii tennis contest. The winner got a Khao San T-shirt! After signing up we started playing. There was like 10 people in the contest. It was funny as hell! People were cheering and laughing while we stood there playing in out costumes. Robin won the first contest! He got the Khao san t-shirt! Guess who won the second contest? Me! So both Robin and me got a khao san T-shirt.
Somewhere around midnight the party was over but we quickly decided to go to karaoke. I would pay a milion dollars to see a bunch of drunk people dressed up in a costume. We were 14 guys trying to get in to the karaoke bar but this geman guy, who didnt even speak japanese, tried to make a bargain. He started talking to the karaoke assistant. We just wanted to sing! In the end people got fed up with that guy and started to leave.
Me, Robin and a staffguy from Khao san got fed up and walked away. Ivan, the staffguy, went back home but we kept on going. We ended up at Stella. It was pretty empty but I had a blast! I played darts with the guys working there.
Robin wanted to go earlier but I wanted to stay. Stella wasnt that far away from Khao san so he went back to khao san and I played darts at Stella for a little longer. I went home when Stella closed.
One of the best days in Tokyo.
I would like to thank Khao san Annex for a great party!

Tokyo, Day 45 (Ikebukuro)
Sorry for the late post. In my defence Ive been blogging almost every day since I got to Japan. I deserve a break, right?
Anyways..Day 45 was the day I met up with Lili. We said we were meeting up at 3 P.M in Shinjuku. The meet-up place is a place where everyone meets up. Its pretty entertaining just to stand there watching all the people who walks by. So I was there a bit early, 14:45 to be exact. I didnt wanna be late this time. After waiting for Lili for 50 min I gave up. Well I didnt give up but I didnt wanna wait anymore so I called her up, wich I should have done 30 min earlier...She explained to me she was late..."duh" and that it would take another 30 min until she was in Shinjuku. There was nothing I could do about it so I just went for a coffee and got back 30 mins later. When she finally came we realized we didnt plan anything special. She came up with a really good idea:
In Ikebukuro there is a huge mall with billion of shops and restaurants. On the top level theres an aquarium. Pretty cool, huh?
We decided to go there even though she wasnt sure the aquarium was open. Once we got to Ikebukuro we tried to find the big mall. Its called Shining city by the way. After a few wrong turns and a few right once we finally knew where the place was but before we could go there Lili wanted to get new glasses. Belive it or not but Tokyo hands has their own glasses-store. Then, finally, she got her eyes examined and we went off for Shining city! At least thats what I thought. Her glasses took 40 min to make so we had to wait. But that was ok becasue we went to an arcade hall! Those 40 minutes were like 10 minutes in that arcade hall. I tried mario-cart, boxing, drumming, shooting...everything. After 40 min we got back to Tokyo hands to get her glasses.
All this stuff made me hungry but I couldnt eat now! We were so close to Shining city and the Aquarium!!
It was everything I expected it to be. Big and full of clothing stores, handgbags, expensive stores. In another word "A womans dream". Let me give you guys an advice you wont regret hearing. Never, EVER go to Shining city with your Girlfriend or wife. You will end up broke and they will make you go with them for at least 10 hours!
So anyway! Back to what have been waiting for! The Aquarium! The cool part is that the aquarium is located on the top floor! We got up and....and....and....it was closed! In a blink of an eye I could feel all the excitement and curiosity, that I had built from the moment she asked me if I wanted to go to the aquarium, disappear. There was not much to do then except for eating away my sorrows. And so we did! We went to a place where you order your food with a remote control and ordered everything! we had chicken, pasta, noodles, eggs, salad, more chicken, okonomiyaki, pizza.
All in all I had a great time since she is easy to talk to and funny. I only wished her English was a little bit better. I had to ask her what she said a few time because her English wasnt the best. It was good but her accent made it hard. I learned yet a few new japanese word and phases. Im beginning to think I know japanese now, haha.
We talked for quite some time but I had a train to catch, so did she. At the station we promised each other that next time will be more planned. I dont know if I got time to see her again but maby. Time will tell....
