Just got here today - its pissing down with rain at the moment but it didnt stop me going for a wander around shinjuku and picking up a few DS games.
The choice of mobile phones here is mad.

Anyone here been on a day trip to Fuji from Tokyo? It was in Feb and a bit cold up there so we didn't bother but what's it like in March or maybe April?

The official climbing season is from the beginning of July to the end of August. I understand that there is too much snow during the rest of the year for the day hiker.

Been blind drunk the entire time ive been here so far. Seen nothing whatsoever besides the insides of bars in Shibuya/

Friday?@-?@met a friend called Tomo, wow she looked so cute after loosing the weight she put on in England. Had a great time in a bar in the Cafe B@gus building and got really pissed. Things went downhill from there fast, we went back to my hotel and fooled around for a while, before she decided she had to go for the last train because she was "not easy"

She missed her train and ended up calling me asking to stop at my hotel, but sadly the tiny shorts stayed on. Ended up having a a blazing argument with her about god-knows-what at 6am which pretty much ruined our friendship for ever, damn.
Really really depressing night

Saturday?@?| Slept all day, until i met up with some chick i found on japan-guide, she looked a lot worse in person than in her pic and spoke very little english too.
Oh well, we walked around for a while not saying very much, so i asked her if she would like to se my hotel, which she did.
Made a racket having sex with her, so much so that the snooty receptionist rang twice to complain. Afterwards she wanted to stay, but for some reason i kicked her out and took her back to the station. Drank in Gas Panic from 1 am till 5, but couldnt score.

Sunday - Got up at 2 and went to akiba to buy a PSP, sadly too hung over to really enjoy Akiba this time. Drinking from 11 till 5am in Gas Panic and pulled a Thai girl, sadly far to drunk to ****, we just fell asleep. Woke up at 11am and found her far less apealing without make-up so kicked her out, she didnt seem to bothered about it, went back to sleep.

Monday - Got up at 4 and went to Korakuen and ate Sushi. Fell asleep on the Yamanote line for an hour. Went to Roppongi at night, but it was deadly quiet, talked to a Russian hooker for a while untill heading back to Shibuya, went in a Gas Panic like club where i played darts with the ultra ultra sexy bar woman, aranged to meet on Thursday, i remember lying to her a great deal. Went to what i thougt was Club Asia for a while and wondered why everyone was Spanish, turns out i gatecrashed some aftershow party for a music show at the Bunkamura. Left right before i was asked to leave. Went to Gas Panic and pulled an American woman. Her fat American arse was a real turn off after the Japanese girls, but nevermind. Shibuya really quiet tonight, no Japanese chicks anywhere

Today - Got up at 3 and went to Cyber Cafe B@gus, feel like death warmed up, still not seen anything of Tokyo. probably going to Club Asia later, not had a Japanese girl in 2 days!


So there you go

I did it at the start of September, so you can still climb then. Mind you, I got p!ssed on all the way up and had to go through a thunderstorm... Errr, stick to August!

Keep in mind that no matter how hot it is at the bottom, it will be freezing at the top. Take plenty of stuff to put on as you go up. Good luck! Oh, and the canned oxygen they sell is a bit of a con but makes a great souvenir!

Give us a bell mate, I'm going on an all dayer on sat after splitting up with teh mrs so if u wanna join me and some buddies...

P.S >club asia on a Tuesday...?

[Jushin-Thunder-Liger]

I would love to, but i am going home friday morning sadly
Know anywhere decent to pick up Japanese chicks tonight? Sick of ****ty Gas Panic!
Cheers

[tokyochojin]

Tuesday???

Bah, Asia is closed isn't it? Opposite Asia they have their sister club, which i have forgot the name. It's a hip hop club full of early 20 year olds like Asia. Failing that, Xanadu where i think you went the other night(The place with the darts mate) Monday n Tuesday are the quitest days though.

I can probably meet u for a quick pint on Thursday if you fancy, although it depends on how much cash i have left this week>.<

[tokyochojin]

I tend to hangaround in Ikebukuro, then go to Shibuya pretty latesh like 11 because most places dont start filling up till then bud.

[Jushin-Thunder-Liger]

Cheers anyway mate, it looks like Roppongi for me then, i was the only?@Amigo in Xanadu last night?AI was in Asia sister club last night too, (that was the after show party i gate crashed)
I am determined to find some Japanese skirt tonight!
Thanks for the info though

[huxley]

Shibuyas the place to go then, Shinjuku had the highest number of pissed people in ties I have ever seen. I was a real culture vulture this evening - went and had a curry and then went to an Irish bar and drank pints of the mighty G.

YAY! Me and the missus have booked our tickets for a 3 week stay in Japan. Gonna stay in Tokyo for a ten to 13 days, then head off to Osaka for the rest of the holiday

We're shooting off on the 12th September, coming back 3rd October. If anyone else is interested, expedia are doing those dates for ?425 flying vith ANA direct flight. After searching for flights to Tokyo for about 6 months those prices are a steal, let me tell you

Anyways, hoping to rent a place through these peeps: http://www.monthlychintai.com/index-e.html anyone have any experience of dealing with them? Enquired about an apartment over a week ago and still aint heard nothin.......

Cant wait, 3 and a half months to go........
