Sha-BOO-Yah!

What an amazing night!

 

The boys and I went down to Shibuya last night (or “Shah-BOO-Yah” as we like to call it, lol) to hit up the club scene. While searching for a spot to pre-game, we found Ghetto Happy, the premier Hip-Hop lounge in all of Tokyo. They played underground Hip-Hop while we sipped our drinks and tried to kick game to the waitress. Just like being back in Brooklyn.

 

Afterwards, we went off in search of Club Womb but it was nowhere to be found. Cliff ended up asking a random guy in front of AM-PM (ghetto version of 7-11) if he knew where the club was. Would you believe this dude brought us right to the front door and gave the doorman “daps?” I LOVE Japan! lol

 

So, we go in but there wasn’t much going on. That doesn’t stop Cliff and I from going into “ALT Mode.” For those of you who don’t know, ALT stands for Assistant Language Teacher. Therefore, ALT Mode is when you use the skills learned as an ALT to kick game to Japanese girls. We were using hand gestures to communicate and showing them American handshakes to break the ice. I know this sounds ridiculous bit it works. At this point, we were ready to step it up another notch so we left in search of another club.

 

While walking down the street we met two beautiful Australian girls who decided to join us on our adventure. We settled on Club Asia, a great place with two floors of dancing. The top floor was Hip-Hop so obviously I didn’t move from there all night, lol.

 

Upon entering the club, Cliff and I go to work. We probably talked to every girl in the club at least twice. Then, they started playing 90’s Jah Rule and Lil’ John (best you’re going to get in Japan) and we started the dance party. We formed circles and had girls following our every dance move. Then, guys came over and started battling us on the dance floor. To be honest, these dudes could dance, but my boy Evan and I showed them what was up. Now, I know I’m not the best dancer, but in Japan I’m like the Michael Jackson of this ‘ish! lol

 

Anyways, that’s how the rest of the night went. We stayed until about 2 am and took the most expensive cab ride of our lives. It was well worth it, but I’m definitely looking forward to getting my placement and settling into a much more cost-effective routine!
