The Last Train/First Train Conundrum

To party or not to party, that is the question, at least if you don't live in walking distance to Tokyo. While Japan has pretty much everything you could think of and more, what they don't have is a train system that runs 24 hours a day. Surprisingly and also depending on where you live, the last train out of Tokyo to get you back to your house could be anywhere from 10:30-11:00 at night. If you don't catch the last train, you are stuck in Tokyo until first train which begins running again around 5:00 in the morning. So if you are deciding to go out, chances are, that if you want to have any sort of late night fun, first train is most likely your only option. Last night, while hanging out with Melissa and her friends, we made the decision fairly early in the night to catch first train. That means we had to keep ourselves occupied from around 9:30 pm to 5:00 am. Somehow we managed to do so and though part of my night/morning was spent sleeping sitting up at Freshness Burger, I still had a great time. We actually decided to go to the fish market when they opened to check it out, but unfortunately it was a holiday of some sort, so no freshest sushi I will ever have in my entire life. Nobody's perfect, but Japan is pretty close. The picture above has nothing to do with anything, but I thought it was funny to come all the way out to Japan to see my first Amish Restaurant. The Amish suck. I'll kick everyone of their asses. I can say that because I know they will never read this. But really, I have nothing agaist the Amish.
