Golden Week = Susukino Week

Golden Week in Sapporo, what can I say...it wasn`t much different from the way things normally were here. I suppose all the festivals and interesting stuff happens in smaller towns and stuff...or maybe it`s just Sapporo that doesn`t really do anything for Golden Week. Still, it was nice to have the week off which basically meant going into Susukino almost every night and getting absolutely wasted. Almost forgot that I`ve got an assignment due pretty soon...soon as in 2 days time...and I haven`t even started yet...

Still Golden Week was fun...I mean going out and getting drunk is always fun...and this time I didn`t throw up...maybe my tolerance for alcohol has increased slightly since I got here...however I have discovered my new favorite cocktail...Kamikaze!!...almost all the Izakaya (restaurant/bars with all you can drink) have it and its a pretty strong drink...especially if they mix it with just pure spirits without the lime chaser...as they did a few times for us...yeah...they must really like us...anyways below are some photos from last week...



On the top is us and two of our Japanese friends from Uni (and me relatively drunk) on Wed night at an Izakaya...on the bottom is us at Acid Room afterwards...a club...



Above is us and another group of Japanese friends from uni...on Thurs at another Izakaya...for the picture at the bottom...we told the Japanese that it was a western tradition to flip off a friend when taking photos...classy...
