Intermixi TGS Tour - Day 6, Part 3

Wow, Day 6 seemed to go on forever didn't it?! After finishing up with Dan and Haruna, X and I had to grab the JR rail and head over to Ikebukuro to meet the rest of our tour group. Aka-san had arranged a night of karaoke for us and some representatives of Girl Gamer.

We found the whole group at Big Echo, one of the various karaoke establishments found in Japan. There isn't too much to say; we drank a lot ...

... enjoyed the company of some beautiful women ...

... danced and sang (some of us, horribly so ;-p) ...

... and then one of us kind of passed out. The night was a blast and for the most part everyone had a great time.

The great thing about these karaoke bars is that you rent a room for your group so that you can enjoy privacy while you make fools of yourselves (as opposed to karaoke in front of a bunch of strangers at a bar like we have here). It's usually a flat rate per person, and you have the room for set amount of time but during that time you can order as much food and drink as you want.

It was a great way to end a night, and for two of our crew it was the perfect ending to their trip to Japan. Tomorrow, most of us would be taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka while X and Greg would travel back home.
