Ingrid's

I convinced my neighbor Jessica to go out to the bar with me...to the town's main foriegner hang out spot, Ingid's (I've mentioned her here: Hanami)!!!  Being the only girls there got kind of ackward when a few weird..possibly drunk Japanese guys came over and wanted us to sit with them.  We did for perhaps 5 minutes as it was a novel experience to get approached by Japanese guys.  Meeting ones that iniciate talk is VERY rare.  But as neither of us were interested we just stayed long enough to say we did it...and then left Ingrid's bar for a little while and wandered around. 



Look what I discovered!  It's mate found here



We poped our heads into the other of the foriegn bars as Jess likes the owner there...kookey lady who runs an extremely dodgy place. Once we felt it was safe we went back to Ingrids and did Karaoke for several hours.  Around 3 she wanted to close so we all left. haha 3am and the nights only half over.  Crazy Japan!  One of the guys who was there has a friend who owns another bar that was around the corner....I guess that place is the after-after-party spot for when something is going on around town. The owner kept playing great music and it convinced us to stay even after Hal and Chris left for a different bar.  By the time we decided to leave it was after 5am.   It's now 5:30 and we just got back after walking to the station and catching a taxi home...I'm practically crawling into bed as I type.  Great fun.  Hal,  who Jessica seemed to hit it off with and I can see myself being friends with, invited us to climb Mt. Bizan with him...today I guess it would be. He said noon....which is in only a few hours.  I sincerely doubt we'll be going that early!
