An American, Frenchman and a Canadian in Tokyo...
Sounds like a good start to a joke? well its not.

My First 30 hours in Tokyo

- got wasted on plum sake at hostel with hostel mates
- got ambushed by japanese media, interviewed me at hostel on why i came to japan besides the earthquake and radiation leak. i will be on TV tonight at 730 pm and tomorrow at 10am. proceeded to go out that evening to Shiboyu district for Karoake.

Dragged my Japanese roommate (who used to live in Vancouver) to karoake with us, upon arrival at Karoake, we got changed into costumes, naturally i got naked and changed into a dress - and so did Mr. Panda, my Panda friend. We sang random Japanese songs, then we had to decide do we catch the last train at 12am or stick it out till 5am when trains start... thankfully karoakes are 24 hours and bars are open till 6am, we decided to stick it out... bad move. we wandered to a few bars, witness Yakuza bosses dismissing their minions with a million bows, met an American NCO who apparently won leave time because he won a huge competition. then we all went to a club but panda couldnt get in, so we went to another club with an american bouncer who let us in no problem. we hung out, the american NCO said he needed a wingman in the next bar, i left with him... we went to a bar where he told me hes been in japan for 3 years and dont be afraid that hes Yakuza, and then we went inside and i saw a million yakuza and girls... got ripepd with them... then left at 510am to meet my friends back at the original bar at 5am.... needless to say, my friends left and i was forced to take the Japanese Subway alone home by mself without my map, drunk. Well because it was at least 30 minutes, i decided to take nap and i passed out... again i missed my stop by about 25 minutes, had to come back, took me 2 hours to get home... bummer... but i did it... that was my 30 hours of mayhem in tokyo
