Susukino

"飲み放題" - what can i say about these places. ￥1500 - 2000 (which is about $20-25 in Aus...i think) for all you can drink for 2 hrs!!..and believe me i definitely get my money`s worth. I`ve been to 2 of these places now and everytime we (as in...me and the other exchange students...yes I`ve got friends now thank you very much!!) go its a matter of us ploughing through the entire list of cocktails as fast as we can... and the way the Japanese mix their drinks here is quite different from back in Sydney...there`s alot more alcohol in the mix!!...for example...i asked for JD and coke at a club last night...firstly they dont serve it in one of those half glasses like they do in Sydney...the cup is twice the size here...but not only that...i could barely taste the coke in it...it was more like...JD and drop of coke... But the people here are really cool...both times we headed out to Susukino, we had no idea where all the decent clubs were...so using our extremely broken Japanese skills, we ask a bunch of young people and eventually were able to tag along to a few good places...but its funny because we try to speak to them in Japanese and they try to speak to us in english...much hilarity ensures...but I`ve found that when drunk...my Japanese communication skills improve quite significantly...hehe...there`s a tip for all you other ICS students out there...
