Saturday Night Outing


As Saturday night rolled around, my roommates decided they wanted to go to a club they’d heard about from some of their friends and they insisted I join them. The club we went to was in downtown Nagoya called iD. I was amazed when I got there of how huge it was. It was 5 floors high with each floor having a different style of music. The cover was a bit high to get in at 3000 yen, but we weren’t going to turn around and head home... (The price was so high because it allowed you 4 free drinks...A lot of good that is to me...) When we first got in the club my friends planned to meet some of their friends on the 3rd floor so we went there. I tried to follow but got lost in the crowd. I spent probably the next 30 minutes going through worst case scenarios in my mind if I couldn’t find my friends again. Luckily I found them eventually and we had a great time.

After the club closed at 1am one of my friends decided for some reason he wanted to see what a gay bar in Japan looked like. The rest of us weren’t particularly comfortable with this, but he was adamant so we followed. After asking numerous random people we were directed to a “bar” in an tall building. When we walked in we discovered we were actually in some sort of transsexual theatre thingy. Thankfully my friend was able to talk our way out of there and we hurried away. Surprisingly to us we were escorted out of the place by someone we later found to be named “小ママ” or “little mama”. (Find pictures in the slide show) He/She was nice to us and asked lots of questions but all we could think about was how awkward the situation was.  Safe to say we’ll never be following that friend again…
