Japan Night 1

So let's flash back a few weeks to the first weekend in October, when I went to Fukuoka, Japan with some friends. We got there in the early evening and after a brief rest, went out to find some supper and drinking.

These are the sounds I picture coming out of us in this picture: Grrrrr! YEAH! Teeee! Hmmmm. Hyuk!


I'm not sure who these chicks are. They might have worked at the restaurant we went to, but they might also be prostitutes.


This is the restaurant we ended up at, after walking around for a while. We chose it because it seemed reasonably priced, at about $5-7 for a lot of the dishes. It ended up being not so great, because that kind of money only got us a plate with only five or six bites on it. We should have known better in Japan. We ended up going to a chicken place later in the night, because we got hungry again.



After we walked around trying to find a decent bar, we ended up at this reggae place, which was pretty cool. The drinks were priced okay, and the music was good, of course.


Next we got to a nice jazz bar with lots of old records. Unfortunately, we didn't notice on the outside menu that there was a 700 yen cover charge, so the one beer I had while we were there cost me about 15 bucks. We learned to read more carefully before entering a bar.
There don't seem to be any pictures of me at that jazz bar, so here are the others:





After the jazz bar it was the chicken place I mentioned, and then back home. The next day in Japan was a bit more interesting than the first.
