Girls Night Out

Saturday night was a girls night out. Lauren, Tina and I headed to a local pub called Coast, near the Himeji Castle. Shogo, the DJ, was appearing for the final time and so it was a bit of a special occasion. The cover charge was ￥2000 (about $20) which included our first drink. The pub was packed and we soon discovered there were only 3 other foreigners in the place!

We had a great time meeting lots of 'interesting' people, many whom knew text book English. Many people kept saying "Can I help you?" to which we replied, "Yes, I'm looking for a sweater". They cracked up laughing at this because it was a section of the high school text book about shopping! We also had fun practising our Japanese.

Anyone would be forgiven for thinking it was a fancy dress event because some of the outfits worn by the Japanese locals were...umm...interesting.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing...

Mr Perm-o:

Lauren ordered some drinks, but didn't exactly get what she expected! Our new favourite beverage is Malibu and Coke (which is what she ordered). She came back with Maibu and milk! A bit odd, but she drank it all the same. Just as we were discussing as if anyone would normally drink this...a guy walked past with one! Here he is with Tina. We asked him to make a milk mostache!

We had a fun night.
