good place to crash when pulling an all nighter

swift jacinth
#

I heard 🦅

graceful mural
#

or two birds one stone some drunk esports

#

wish I had realized there was one north of shinjuku station

swift jacinth
#

Lowkey when going to golden gai I’m contemplating just walking over to an esports cafe and sitting there till morning

graceful mural
#

would have done that instead of walking home a couple of times

kindred wedge
#

I still haven't done a Shinjuku night and tomorrow is my last night in Tokyo, do I need to do it?

graceful mural
#

if you have a group

kindred wedge
#

Hmmy, there is a group going but I've not met them yet and I'm hesitant to commit to long hours in a place like that

#

@swift jacinth also are you guys eating?

swift jacinth
#

Have no idea tbh

#

so I’m about to head out to eat rn

graceful mural
#

or thinking at all really

#

doc prescribes

#

1 strong zero

swift jacinth
#

after enough beers

#

you become super social

graceful mural
#

Then assess your readyness to do shinjuku

swift jacinth
#

you must embody drunk Japanese salaryman

graceful mural
#

Also, only bring what you care to spend

#

I do not recommend people go out cash or card rich to golden gai on the off chance some sketchy shit goes down

#

unlikely in a group, but possible

#

it has happened

#

wanna meet in shinsaibashi and plan food from there?

#

Easier to pick a place once we meetup

#

Too many options for me to choose alone

#

and we could pre game a bit

#

Also, I'm interested in the local LGBT life. Mentioning it in the event that youre queer.

Down to hit up non-queer stuff too; but throwing it out there

#

BTW I will be in Osaka 4 nights, so thats an open invite to do some queer shit in Osaka

#

Pretty big scene here

I don't plan on going unless I have a group

#

@Akane @paper citrus Can I join you in 1-2 hours? Still on the train back from Koya...

graceful mural

#

They have vegan okonomiyaki

naive sable
graceful mural
#

I hear there is usually a line, so I wasn't gonna suggest it tonight.
Its INSANELY famous though

#

there is also a fully vegan takoyaki place(Vegan oko is only partly vegan)

naive sable
#

There will be a queue. But worth the wait. This really lovely lady does everything by herself, so everything is fresh but takes time

graceful mural
#

Very excited to try both

graceful mural
#

Definitely gonna give it a go

#

I'm excited for Osaka okonomiyake

#

I didn't love Hiroshima style

#

so hopefully Osaka comes through

graceful mural
#

(of course, please come)

#

we will have two more around 9 probably

#

making us a group of 5

paper citrus
graceful mural
#

was fun

#

Apparently its quite common actually, especially for straight women who don't like getting harassed in bars

#

met a fully straight group of women at Dragon Men

severe pilot
kindred wedge
#

I met a past girlfriend once in a gay bar, we're both straight

graceful mural
#

I feel like more than the dating or hookup aspect of lgbt bars, the vibe of acceptance and a safe space are the most important thing at LGBT bars

#

Like, its easier to meet dates online these days anyways IMO.

#

But its just a good social space

versed hinge
#

@graceful mural @paper citrus @severe pilot I'd be down to join if you'll have me! I've got nothing planned tonight

kindred wedge
#

So main reason tbh I haven't been out much yet is because I'm not a huge beer drinker (anymore), what are the non-beer drinks like here that I could sink down? Never even tried sake etc

graceful mural
#

(lemon sour)

kindred wedge
#

I have not, does it do the job?

graceful mural
#

(yes the more the marrier)

#

And then their were six

severe pilot
graceful mural
#

3 more and we have a proper fellowship

graceful mural
#

I'm used to it, but it was a big change up when I no longer had to initiate interactions

kindred wedge
#

Ah okay good good, seems like more options that I expected then. Mostly just see beer everywhere so was wondering. I will drink the rest

graceful mural
#

Also, chu hais are another good bet

#

or cocktails

#

anything but beer

#

only downside, is I think beer is usually the cheapest option at a nomihodai

#

but I think they do cheap ones with other drinks as well

kindred wedge
#

Tbf everything else here is stupid cheap idc

Eating full meals for like <£10, going home is going to murder me

#

Can't even get a decent size McDonald's for that anymore

back home, zero

#

I'm going to go catatonic

versed hinge
graceful mural
#

from having to cook for myself

graceful mural
#

I'm mostly aromantic, so its kinda the opposite for me.

#

Hookup culture makes perfect sense to me, but long term relationships are totally foreign to me. I don't even know how I would begin to navigate one

versed hinge
#

Oh yeah gotcha

kindred wedge
#

Usually the hookup part and then things just accidentally happen for a bit. Though tbf the apps are a big hurdle to me to even start using

graceful mural
versed hinge
#

I've never used apps actually, I hate the idea of them

kindred wedge
#

Yeah just still don't see how they're meant for relationships, they do happen apparently. Yet to see it in action

#

Last time I had a conversation with someone about not using them and I don't believe they actually work they said "I met x on bumble" and they'd been together like 3 months

#

Happy if they do work tho

graceful mural
#

I think it depends how honest you are about yourself

#

If you are really honest, I can see them being great

#

To find people with similar intersests

#

especially if you are into niche things like I am

#

hard to find people I relate closely to

brisk lagoon
#

So, one day spontaneous in-between-stay in Tokyo, anything interesting going on today?

graceful mural
#

I think there is a group in Shinjuku

#

scroll up

kindred wedge
#

Not Shinjuku I don't think, that games place in One Stadium?

azure stirrup
#

I am up for a drink in golden gai or something 🍻

graceful mural
#

oh youre right

#

I think they are doing odaiba or something right?

paper citrus
kindred wedge
#

I'd be up for golden Gai after the games place? I have no idea what a reasonable amount of time there is tho so can't commit haha

worn spindle
#

isnt the games place all night lol?

swift jacinth
#

yessir we’re going all night baby

graceful mural
#

@paper citrus
I'm gonna head toward shinsaibashi

swift jacinth
#

we’re starting at 8:30 tho

graceful mural
#

And figure out food maybe on the way

swift jacinth
#

so realistically you could play for a few hours

#

and then dip before last train

graceful mural
#

Also, we 3% pregame

#

#

hopefully they’ve got some food cause damn I’m starving

Aki was popping today so the lines were too long to get anything

#

Some of my best healed tattoos are ones I was shitfaced for

#

It really more depends on how the artist does it, the big killer is sunlight and lack of cleaning

#

Though I will say being under the influence during the tattoo is generally considered poor form and will actually be more painful.
Reason being that your blood will be thinner and it's messier and more unhygienic for the artist.

About to get off at shimbashi, next is trying to navigate the next part as I haven't used it

#

Walked from the skytree to teamlabs this morning, mistakes were made

swift jacinth
#

You have to exit the station to get to the other line

#

it’s right outside

kindred wedge
#

Ok if I get lost I'll just scream

brisk lagoon
#

So, through my scrolling it seems some people thought about meeting at golden gai? Is that still a thing? Because it would take me 45 minutes to get there, which is a thing I'm willing to do, but only as long as there actually is something going on when I arrived

There’s a McDonald’s nearby

And a 7/11

#

And a shopping mall across the round1 that has takeout options

#

open until 10pm

although all of these storefronts are closed so it’s kinda trippy

Seriously feels like the back rooms

There’s a little walkway near where I’m at that has an amazing view of the Tokyo skyline and rainbow bridge

Ah god my lungs are gonna die

But my Japanese friends will also endorse said behaviour

#

Still blame Yudai

#

I said I wouldn’t smoke cigarettes

#

Then I got given a Mevius Blueberry

#

Ty yudes mate

#

Also thanks for the nicotine addiction

tidal pewter
#

Mevius blueberry I gotta write this down

#

Sold at 7/11?

rain hazel
#

I mean it’s a fair share he taught me conversational Japanese and housed me last trip

#

I’m sure it’s sold anywhere tobacco is sold

#

Which is everywhere

@kindred wedge where’d you go

#

we’re at bowling

rain hazel
#

Iirc it looks like this

#

But might be wrong bc it’s been a while

#

Premium menthol option

#

I reckon option purple was it but

#

Would have to confirm and can’t be assed bc we have a week until we can find out for ourselves

#

PSA IF YOU DO NOT SMOKE TOBACCO PLEASE DO NOT START SMOKING TOBACCO ITS A KILLER ADDICTION

rain hazel
#

I do not endorse tobacco smoking especially starting smoking tobacco bc of what we’ve just discussed

#

Just google cigarettes cancer

#

That’ll help

We’re beyond saving

Thought I’d just do a psa tho

Note that i brought tobacco/nicotine. So nicotine might be even more fine.

I brought 20 for two weeks hahaha

Holy fuck lol

#

Ur hardcore

#

What mg?

#

I think ill bring 12 and 24

#

I think average consumption in Sweden is just below 1 tin per day. I just don’t want to end up where I’m out of them, cause then i have to resort to desperate measures.

#

13mg

tidal pewter
#

A tin a day is nuts man

#

A tin will last me a week

#

Snus really is the fucking best though

#

Just pure nicotine and flavour

#

No cancer involved

#

No dirty smoke smell no dirty spitting like chew

#

Just put her up top and youre golden

errant topaz
# tidal pewter No cancer involved

Neither proven that it does or doesn’t give, but it’s better than smoking. Only problem is that you end up consuming more than if you smoke 🤷‍♂️

tidal pewter
#

I looked at some lab studies on it for awhile if it does cause cancer its 1000x less likely than other ways of consiming nicotine

Does however have a small benefit on dental health, apart from the gum abrasion haha

Lol yea cant be same spotting

I think they sell weak stuff in some jp stoees

Looks like heaven to me

Its so hard to get in canada

I should’ve had you come with me tbh

how is it?

i feel like a big part of the experience is communication which is why i haven't bothered because i'd have to search for a maid cafe with english speakers

#

💀

#

although lowkey

#

they're getting super advanced with it

#

i saw a maid handing out fliers with an earpiece and a translator box on

there's signs everywhere and it's enforced

Idk what touting is

Tbh

swift jacinth

basically rolling up on someone and being super pushy to enter your store

Oh

swift jacinth

there's workarounds like having cute maids pass out fliers advertising their stores

or if they only have a single flier they might "guide you" if you show interest
