Watering Hole

[Jack]

Question for the folks in Tokyo. Where is the usual watering hole for the financial types in Tokyo? Or is there even such a thing?

[Charles]

If you have to ask...

[Mulboyne]

They are all over the place because finance firms are all over the place these days. You will still find a quite a few white guys in Roppongi bars like Hobgoblin, Heartland, Geronimo's and the newer A971 Garden in Midtown but they certainly aren't exclusive to the industry. You'll also find finance types in Akasaka bars like the Dubliners, Hobgoblin and the Aux Bacchanales near the ANA hotel and most bars in Kamiyacho. If you go into any of the newer bars in Marunouchi and shout "China's just devalued!" then you'll probably get a lot of attention.

[prolly]

You can't afford it. the day you show up is the day the place is Over and I take my business elsewhere.

I've noticed a lot of wankers, errr... I mean, bankers hanging out at the bar at the Oak Door in RH lately..

Thanks Mulboyne. I'll try that "China just devalued" trick and report back to you.

Question: why would anyone want to hang with finance types?

Lot of them used to hang out at Mad Mulligans a few years back until most of the foreign banking institutions moved out of the Kamiyacho area. Good riddance. Guys like Mulboyne (when he had a real life) would come in drive up prices by paying premium yen for cheap drinks. Worse yet, pay the cheap hookers far too much money and generally ruin the neighborhood for poor under salaried goat herders trying to get bed and bread.

Serious, Kamiyacho-Toranomon has gone to hell. The sea of OLs want to see a credit card before even letting you buy obento for them. Used to be, I could sit in front of Starbucks in the morning without fear of cheap hookers who were kicked out of deep Kabukicho for being too ratty. Should send them to OmoteSando were they can liven the place up.

Sounds like the sane as in Canada although the community is more concentrated here.

I know the financial companies are all over in Tokyo. Used to be in the Marunouchi area before I believe. Now in Akasaka, Roppongi, and even in Ebisu where Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are.

By the time I started working in Kamiyacho (just prior to the tenants moving over to RH), Mad Mulligans was already starting to lose its luster. There was this one girl from Nepal who was a waitress there; had very interesting features. GB, do you remember her?

Are you talking about the one with the great figure, that had the beautiful Indian style eyes and was ever flirtatious, that shifted back from night shift to the day shift for the lunch crowd, with the short heavyset J-girl?

Nope, I don't remember her at all!

I think Jack is looking for a sugar-daddy.

Might be looking for five of them. Four to hold the other guy in case he don't really like sugar!

It really doesn't look that much like sugar, more like some coagulated cream or mayonaise...not the mayonaise that's been sitting in the bowl at the salad bar and has begun to turn brown...then again, if your mayonaise is brown...you're probably looking at the output from the wrong end.

Sex ed classes...necessary.

Ok... is it safe to say he is looking for a mayonnaise-daddy?:bukkake:

Ebisu where Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are.

GS ain't in Ebisu.

Was she bat-shit insane with greenish eyes?

SJ that sounds like the Russian gal that worked there for a while. Blonde?

No, I know the difference between a Russian and a Nepali. I've never actually been to the bar in question. For some reason that little description reminded me of a Japanese speaking half Sherpa half Gurkha waitress with green eyes that I once (actually twice) "knew" in Seattle. She used to live in Tokyo.

Sherpas are very good in low O2 environments....I can imagine that she'd do great work underneath the water in a jacuzzi.

If we're talking about the same gal, she could gargle the entire jacuzzi while still doing great work!

You should of married her on the spot, even if her breath did smell of chlorine.

I considered that, mainly cause she could suck start an F-4 to full afterburner!

Could she suck all the lava out of a volcano, then supply geothermal heat to a 3rd world nation?

I'm not sure how she could handle a 3rd world situation, but she could roll your socks up and down like venetian blinds!

You may have just stumbled onto the next fashion trend to hit J-pan. However, it should be limited to only women who can orally inflate Mitsubishi-Fuso truck tires....even though they can come flying off at any moment. and kill random drivers and pedestrians.

Your homework for the weekend is to determine whether I am talking about girls or tires?

Will there be a test on Monday?

Why? Do you like trucks?
