First night out in Tokyo

Nothing beats a truly random night out in Tokyo, at least not yet :)

Met an amazing bunch of people at the hostel and what started as a couple of us heading out to experience the neon lights, turned into about 10 of us joining the party. We started out with a couple of giant cans of beer and it has to be said that Japanese beer is really good. Then we headed off to the hostel bar to have some cheaper drinks and decide where to head out to. At 11:45pm we caught the last train off to Roppongi where there is nightlife of all kinds.
After dodging some dodgy Nigerian bouncer types trying to get us into bars we headed to GasPanic which doesn't charge cover but you do need to have a drink in your hands at all times. Immediately headed for the dance floor and instantly made some new Japanese friends who wanted to dance with the white folk.
After being there for a couple of hours we headed off to a different bar to mix it up. Turns out that the next bar we ended up was owned by GasPanic too. Chain night club I guess. It was a much smaller place and we were also treated to a bunch of girls dancing on the bar. One of them was getting pretty close with a guy and I have some suspisions that she was a working girl - but no way to confirm it.
We stayed out all night because that is what you need to do when the trains aren't running and cabs cost a small fortune. Unfortunately it meant that when hungry o'clock came around there was only the option of MacDonalds - and I actually ate a chicken burger. So dissapointed with myself. Then it was hopping on the first train home and getting in at 6am. All in all it was a fun night out and here are the pictures to prove it.
