So we tried going to roppongi last night. Unfortunately we have no real direction in this place so while we thought we were walking deeper into Roppongi we were actually heading deeper into Azabu… god damn it. We walked for around 90 minutes into Azabu (it is REALLY long) berfore we finally realized things and decided to walk back to Roppongi (wherever that might have been). After getting back and walking for three hours straight (and according to Mike here, that’s pretty accurate) we headed back to Shinjuku.

On our way back to the hotel (at this point our roppongi excursion has cost us around 5 hours of our day and countless years on our life) we here, what could you imagine, Bon Jovi Bed of Roses blaring out from this basement in a building. Curious as to what establishment has such great taste in this country we head in only to find a perfect recreation of a West Allis bar, Rolling Rock and all (their import special). Only in Japan is Rolling Rock and Bud considered premiums and charged $7 a bottle.. ouch.. well, after listening to a bizarre combination of Bon Jovi and JPop for an hour or so, we had a few beers, headed out, and capped off what would have otherwise turned out to be a very disappointing (and deadly… I really think Mike was looking at me out of the corner of his eye by the fourth hour of walking).

now we are off to the Ghibli Museum.
