Danny was working today, so got the tube to shibuya and looked around the shops. It was overcast and raining today. The shops were pretty dull as most of them were designer and very expensive. Decided to take the tube to Shinjuku, with its skyscrapers and neon lights it looked similar to Shibuya to me. Walking around most of the places were restuarant or bars, although I did come across the red light district. This was porn shops mixed with what i think were soap houses. Dann friend Sensi had explained to us yesturday about these. now in the guide book it says this is a place not to be missed but I feel I must have missed the place not to be missed as it didn't seem that interesting. Danny reckons I must have come out of the wrong exit and all the shops were to the west. I met danny after work back at Hachiko and we went to Gaijin (foreign) bar. Here we got talking to a Russian girl, her Japanese husband, russian friend, some young Japanese people and some south Africans. The Russian girl seemed quite drunk and bought me a beer. The Russian friend turned out to be a 50 year old journist and gave Danny his business card and invited us to russian next Feb if danny wanted to make a documentary. One of the young Japanese people gave me some Japanese biscuits (which tasted just like cheese straws) as we were leaving to catch the last train home.
