Watering Hole

[kusai Jijii]

My brother is one of those "suit" types who lives in Akasaka and doesnt take his expense account out to drink anywhere more that 3 clicks from the Roppongi strip. The last time I left Kansai for a trip to Tokyo, I had the utter displeasure of having to drink with his "mates". One of the conversations I remember being subjected to was a debate as to which airline had the best buisness-class sky-beds. Complete and utter fuckwads, the lot of 'em.
Which leads me to the obvious question...

Why the fuck would ANYONE want to go drinking in places where those cock suckers congregate anyway?

Oh, and to preempt, anyone who answers "for the chicks" is an even bigger looser than I thought. I wouldnt give the scank that hangs around those types of bars the steam off my shit.

Thats all for tonight.

KJ
Out.

Okay kids, back on topic. This is about watering hole for financial types, remember? Good. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, I forgot.

I used to go to Hobgoblin Roppongi the odd Sunday for the Roast Lunch (and they were suit types - simply changed into khakis and rugby tops), but in general for that locale it was P.Foleys for the occasional free beers and the craic (not too many suity types though)

went to Heartland a few times and that was a bit suity ... full of tossers on retrospect

Why so hostile KJ? Are you okay? Discussing business class seats is a lot more interesting than discussing "how ordering pizza is a chore" like I've been reading on another thread.

Neither are interesting for longer than 90 seconds of conversation...but then IMHO so are scantily clad air-hostesses who feed you pizza slices using their boobs to conduct the plate to mouth process while you fart into the extra wide seats made of carved marshmallow... but then, I do have a very short attention span.

Thanks SJ. You just demonstrated my point exactly.

The cunts that frequent those joints define themselves by how much they make. Thats why, IMHO, they are complete and utter wankers. Of course, everyone is free to be impressed by whatever they choose. Personally, I have some mates in Japan almost on the breadline, and other mates who are making rediculously large amounts of cash. But none of them like talking about which sky-bed is the best. To them, such dribble would be considered ostentatious, crass, and moronic. It reaks of "small-dick syndrome".

The thing is Jack, the ones who like discussing buisness class seats are invariably also the ones who are so fucking idiotic that, even after several years of living in Japan, they are still unable to order a pizza on the phone in Japanese. That's why, for them, it usually is a chore. I think you are talking about the same crew here buddy.

Dude, I cannot count myself among the rich bankers and definitely couldn't join in on the conversation about business class seats. However, the minute someone starts writing people off because they are more successful than them shows me just how jealous he is.

Personally I think conversations about football and muscle cars are boring but I don't think people who engage in such conversations are "wankers". If you made a lot of money, had to make a lot of business trips and were lucky enough to fly business class, that conversation would probably be of interest to you. I've had conversations about which carriers have the best seats and most leg room in economy before. What's the difference?

By the way, I've met plenty dirt poor English teachers who've been here forever and a day and can't speak Japanese worth a shit either. One could argue that's even worse because unlike those bankers who often only come for a short time, work ungodly hours, live in serviced gaijin-friendly apartments, and have people in admin who's job it is to make sure everything goes smoothly for them, the lifer English teacher probably really would benefit greatly by learning Japanese.

Your comments remind me of the the gaijin who can't speaks Japanese that gets mad at the fluent gainjin for "showing off" by chatting with the locals at the neighborhood izakaya.

Which airline does this? I have this nasty M side to my personality and I'd love some chick bronskiing pizza into my mouth. Hell, I'd let mom video tape it and post it on YouTube, again.

Fair enough. I stand corrected. I was completely wrong. Let me modify my earlier posts...

1) The Roppongi strip is full of really great places to go drinking.
2) The prices there are really reasonable and one gets the chance to mingle with a wide cross section of society - both Japanese and foreign.
3) "Success" is defined by how much money you make alone. Bankers and futures traders are much more "successful" than me because I am not in their line of work.
4) As an extension of point 3, I am hopelessly jelous of them. I really envy "the lifestyle" that they lead, but must, reluctantly, resign myself to the fact that I am a looser, and settle for "less".
5) All the chicks who hang out at the aforementioned bars are really nice people. Even the "women" at Motown. Future wife material right there.
6) I completely support the recommedation that Jack goes drinking at all the bars suggested by others in earlier posts in this thread. I am sure he will have a smashing time.

There, don't you feel better now that you have fully apologized for the historical atrocities you have commited as a nation against your neighbors?

Why are you wanting to hang out with them anyway - trying to sell more Amway or something?
