Hey Bitch!

Konbanha! I'm in the end of a big weekend here in japan, because this monday was the "Respect for the Aged Day". As far as I know, it's not a common holiday here, many japanese didn't even know what kind of holiday was today. Anyway, I spent my saturday going to a party. 3, to be exact.

The first one was a kind of meeting party. Japanese and foreigners go there to meet and talk in english. While the english name of the party is 'Friends Party', the japanese name is 'Foreigner's Party'. I guess it helps with the marketing thing, as there are many japanese willing for international blending. Although it's not a match-making party, almost everyone is single and many foreigners go there just to meet japanese girls, and vice-versa. That's awful in my opinion...

Anyway after the party (that ended around 21h) I could gather some people for an nijikai, which translates to 'second party', and then we went to Shooters, another gaijin bar. Nothing special here, but its interesting to note that drunk japanese guys are always a pain in the ass. At least I learned with him how to say the interjection 'Yocha!!!!!' with the required emotion and the 'shouryuuken style' arm movement.

And then the remaining 5 people decided to go to a salsa dancebar. It was crowded, hot, and decorated with the same cliche Central America - Hawaii stuff. I'm not into salsa, but I still danced a little. Many japanese seemed to like the dance, and were very good at it - probably results from a dance school. The shy ones, though, just remained dead in the corners. Girls were invited to dance, which seems an odd behaviour for japanese. Oh heck, we are in a salsa bar! Nice things that the japanese can change accordingly to the context. The girls also used more sexy and tight clothes. A good change ;)

I left the bar alone later, it was too boring for me. At least I've paid just 1/4 of the entrance fee because I'm latin. The way back was interesting! When I was walking home (I live near the center of the city), a japanese girl came to talk to me. She was with a friend, but chased me alone. She tried to talk in english, without success. When she said 'Message!' I started wondering where did I met this girl before... then she picked up the mobile phone. My head was very confused this time - how can somebody send me a message through a unknown girl's mobile phone??? Maybe she wanted my help to translate english.

At this point she wrote in the mobile the number 6000, and moved her hand (without touching :p) through my whole body. While I was puzzled, the other girl came and said '5sen!' (5 thousand yen). It took a second for me to realize that the girls were offering 'massage service', I was not prepared to be chased by japanese prostitutes in the middle of the street.

When I realized the truth, I just said no, and because the girls tried to insist, I turn away and continued my way home. On the way back I regret that I ignored them - I should try to obtain more information from the girls, like their age, what kind of massage (maybe full package is more expensive!). Next time, maybe. Other interesting point is that the girls where not attractive, they looked just like the other girls. They didn't even dressed like whores that I've seen... I wonder if they can get many clients this way.

I talked to a japanese friend about it, and she said that maybe the girls were from Philippines, not japanese. There are many girls from these country that comes to japan to became sex professionals, and many japanese married man cheats their wifes with them, raising the occurrences of STDs. It's the life.

Someday I'll grab a deluxe professional, afterall I need to know how things work here in Japan :p. Benkyou ni naru na...
