rockabillies!

I have been kind of lazy lately, sorry...The thing is, I haven't even been that busy...Ah well...

I met up with the British guy, who I found through couchsurfing.com, and spent the evening in a British pub (or was it Irish?) with him and his friend. We then went back to his place (near Shinjuku) where I had persuaded him to let me use his spare room for 2 nights. Next day we were supposed to meet up at Shinjuku station at 5 pm, but due to the facts that the station is huuuuuge, the directions in Japanese, and my sense of direction is slightly off, I showed up at the meeting place at 5.45 pm...Even though I was actually at the station on time...Damn, that was frustrating! Of course I couldn't call and say I was late, since my phone doesn't work here (at all, don't try to call or text my Norwegian or Swedish numbers, there is no point) and I had not been able to get a Japanese phone yet...In the end, I saw a guy that looked like he was a gaijin and belonged in Tokyo, so I ran up to him and made him let me borrow his phone. He was American I think, and quite nice about the whole phone thing. The result of the phone call was that a new meeting time was scheduled, at the same place. This meant I was too afraid to stray too far from it, I didn't exactly want to get lost again...

We eventually met up and went to a party at the apartment of a friend of a Norwegian guy I met in the bar or that French guy's friend (complicated...). It was fun, everybody got seriously drunk (well I didn't, as you may know, I don't like getting totally pissed, happy is more my thing) and we ended up running around in different parts of Tokyo all night after leaving the Norwegian's friend's apartment (he was Swedish btw). Next day (Sunday) was spent watching Japanese guys with huge hair and total Grease T-birds looks dancing in the park. Got some pictures, it was really cool and looked like soooo much fun =)

Am now staying in the British guy's apartment for 2 weeks while I look for a job, so that turned out nice!

See you!
