Skyscraper Welcoming Party

Skyscraper is a uni club...it basically consists of a group of people getting together and playing a random sport every Wed then go out drinking or something afterwards...anyway so this week was the clubs first meeting this year...the welcoming party...I went with Chris and well...it was an interesting night indeed...we were the only foreigners there and were considered somewhat of a novelty...everybody was quite shocked when I said I was from Australia...

Anyway the 1st stage of the party was as you can probably guess...heading off to a 飲み放題. The difference this time though was that the drinks that were ordered...were kinda weak (meaning no throwing up on my part)...the strongest drink they had here was beer!!...but most people seem to like this "chuuhai" stuff...which is kinda like a stolly and tastes exactly like fruit juice...still...drink enough and you`ll get drunk...

The 2nd stage then was Karaoke...and karaoke with these people is quite a sight...alot more roudy than any other karaoke session I`ve ever been to...but nonetheless I managed to hold some decent conversations with a few people...mostly in Japanese as well...I stand by my earlier statements that being drunk improves your Japanese communication skills by like 10-fold...in any case...below are photos of Karaoke that night...
