Birthday parties

 Ok, for a much less "emo" post, here's what we did over 2 evenings for my birthday.

1st evening took place on the 15th, at "Chum's apartment", a good looking restaurant / lounge suggested by Bryant.

They serve a mix of occidental & japanese style food, tasty & well presented. We even had foie-gras ( neat ! ). 

We had great dinner and a few drinks, but not too much as it was monday.

Thank you people for the evening (and the bill :-) ! )

The second evening took place on Friday, a much better day for partying all night :-)

We went for drinks ( as usual on friday ) & then went to an Izakaya in Shibuya, followed by a club in Ginza , Sabaku No Bara (not sure of the spelling here) where Tom, Tom's friends, Terje, Mikael, Alessandro & Luca spent the night.

The club was good, and people were cool. There were gogo dancers ( including Tom's friends) & pole dancers... Ok, I tried 3 times to write this sentence, but no matter how I put it, it sounds pretty sleazy, but whatever :

The pole dancers had incredible & complex moves. It's impressive how thin they are compared to the amount of effort that must be required for such moves ( I'm thinking for instance when they stand perpendicular to the pole). The gogo dancers were fantastic :-)

At one point I got a birthday cocktail and a nice picture I may or may not put later on here !

Good times !
