Our home for Monday and Tuesday is in Ikebukuro. Started the night off at a bar with the friends and 2 locals, then more bars, and maybe another, finally topped it off with a karaoke bar deal for 980 yen until 5:00am – who wouldn’t take on that deal after 5 bottles of sake, 16 hour jet lag, and an odd number of beers. Honestly, we were on the way home, but couldnt resist the flashing lights and shooting stars 
Went home when the moon went to sleep and said hello to the sun. Welcome to Japan baby!
