The next day I met up with my friend Heather for dinner at the famous Gonpachi restaurant where the movie scene with the crazy 88's from Kill Bill is based on. Gonpachi really gives you the illusion that the crazy 88's could walk in any moment while dining. Unfortunately I was unimpressed with the food but the decor was spectacular.

Throughout my stay in Tokyo I have been quite embarressed by many drunk foreigners that couldn't hold their liqour and started a ruckus with the locals. I also witnessed a raid at Gaspanic where it got a bit out of control. The lesson of today, please hold your liqour and don't act like an idiot in Japan, please do it for the sake of all foreigners.  Also, I highly recommend studying a bit of basic Japanese before you go to Japan otherwise you won't be able to communicate with many locals resulting in a less enjoyable nightlife experience, trust me on this!
