9 am!!

So yesterday was crazy!!
We started out by going to the Navy Holiday Ball here on base. Lots of entertaining people watvching. Plus, the food was good and drinks were strong and cheap. We then headed to the train station and headed to Shibuya. A hip young area that is well known for it's night life. Iwas a bit nervous for this trip b/c once you're there, you are stuck until the trains start running again at 6am! The train ride was hilarous. My brother got this energy drink, but this Japanese guy kept calling it "Minza" and laughing. He then called me cute and kept shouting "Minza"??? We got the impression from him that the drink was some sort of Viagra like drink?? My brothers friends and I all thought it was hilarous-my brother, a bit frightened. He didn't finish the drink.
Shibuya resembles a time square, except there are more people. It was hard to keep our group together. We first went to club Pure. It was pretty cool. (All the clubs here play American music and are typical not much bigger than one room). We danced a bit and then decided to head to Club Asia. An okay bar. They had a live band there. There were Japanese and this is all I heard "Ogey Goey Monster", over and over. I also got yelled at for taking a photo. Opps. This was a hippi type bar and very smokey and crowded so we soon headed back to PURE. When we got back it was much more crowded. One of the security guards was taking to me and turns out he is from Loraine, Ohio! Small world. We were all having a good time dancing, but there was this one creepy Japanese man that would not leave me alone. I tried to be polite the first two times, but even after the fifth NO and throwing his hands off me he still didn't get the hint. Oh well, you just have to laugh it off and I kept hiding behind my brothers friends when he came around. I also had a weird encounter with a girl in the bathroom. She followed me in and asked how old I was. I told her and she smiled and bowed. I then went into my stahl and when I came out found her still there. She again asked me my age and bowed. As I washed my hands and exited she continued to smile and bow at me??? I smiled and walked out. She then went to her friends who all smiled and stared at me for a bit. Did I mention that I was the only caucasion (of about 150) girl there? Strange. There was a twin bartenders from Peru working. Somehow I got tied to giving one of them English lessons while I'm here? He kept pulling my up to the bar to talk to him and his English was so broken, it was loud and I'm deaf, so I couldn't get a darn thing he was saying. This scenario played out like 5 times throughout the night. Me confused everytime, but he was giving me free drinks, so whateves. At 2am I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it, but like drinking usually does, it got me through and at 5:30 the lights came on and it was time to go. I was very proud of myself for lasting the whole night (and in heels!) and was even in better shape than my brother and all his friends. We got a quick bite and then headed to the train station where we had to wait til 6:15 to catch a train back home. We all crashed as soon as we sat down ,but luckily woke up to catch the stop where we had to get off and switch trains. In all the trip home took around 2 hours. The longest walk of shame ever!! I had a great time and had lots of laughs.
The internet is being sketchy, so I'll have to post some pics later.
