Sam & Daves

Was in Sam & Dave's last week and had an amazing time. We entered the club at around 11 and didn't leave until 5 am. Followed by a 2 hour session of McDonalds breakfast waiting for the first bus home. It's been a really long time since I've enjoyed clubbing for that amount of time without getting tired and wanting to go home. It's the atmosphere and people that make it so much fun. The music was OK (except for when they played "Crazy Frog - Club Remix version"). The club is hotter and sweatier than the crack of Satan's ass though, but after about an hour of dancing its not something that we think about - just have to accept it.

CROWDED! Anyone spot the devil?
On the other hand I think that if I go there too often I'll end up with lung cancer due to all the 2nd hand smoking going on. Please Japan, stop people smoking in crowded, non-ventilated places! So far I've managed not to get burnt by a stub like in Roppongi last year, but there is still 10 months left of my stay here so I'm sure it will happen again.

When I left the club there were 30 or so police waiting outside. There had been a fight so the police were trying to settle down the guy, his girlfriend and another guy that had made a move on said girl. It was very entertaining to see so any cops doing nothing except for trying to talk sense into the 3some for over 45 mins and in the end not a single person was detained. If this had happened in the UK a cop car would have been there within minutes and probably all 3 would have been forcibly put in the car and sent to the station.

I'm glad they were too occupied by the 3 Japanese instead of questioning foreigners leaving the club since I had not brought my passport with me or any papers saying I was in the country legally.

The girls were soooo tired that they fell asleep on the bus ride home
