It's a chain...maybe like the Starbucks of Japan.

well, someone had to photograph it! :hehe:

unfortunately we didn't do any clubs. had we stayed longer and gotten over our tiredness i'm sure we would've been up for staying out late. i did go to the gas panic in roppongi but didn't like it. spent a couple of nights in 'the hub the english pub' in roppongi.

the best night was actually spent in this family run restaurant where we had a right laugh with them. i got the chefs sister's e-mail which is a bonus! :naughty:

those are great photos! so you actually did go to omotesando hills...cool.....yeah i went to gas panic in shibuya...it was watevers...i think the only reason we went was cuz we ran into it the first night we landed and we had to stay up all night despite no sleep because we wanted to adjust to the time difference as quickly as possible...so he had a peak....we went to other bars/clubs that were much better than gas panic....that shiet is mostly for foreigners and isn't nearly as cool as the myriad number of other venues.

yeah we stayed out the latest on our first night. we realised though that we were going out too early. in the uk most pubs close around midnight so we're used to getting drunk by that time and going home. it looked like people were just starting to come out by that time in tokyo. :bonk:

Did you go to Tsukiji you first day in Tokyo?

ppl party to the break of dawn in tokyo cuz there's so much to do and it's all open late and moreover, after a certain time, 12 midnite or 1am, the trains stop running so a lot of ppl just stay up until the trains start running again.

Even Superheros enjoy the pleasure of "nanpa" in Shibuya

well the second picture down is Omotesando Hills, the reason you haven't been there before is b/c it didn't exist when you went! :beaten:
