乾杯! (Kanpai)

After the delicious Sio Ramen, we continued our adventure in Takadanobaba. We went back to the Weekly Mansion to meet up with the others and from there walked around the area to try to find a place where we can drink. We finally found a place with the help of a local. We were asked if we wanted to sit upstairs in a private room because the main bar was full. The private room was really nice but we found out later that there was an extra service charge (400円 per person) for drinking there.





The two drinks I had were really good. Unfortunately I don't their names because it was all written in 漢字(Kanji) but here are the pictures of some of the drinks that we had.



This was after I mixed the blue and red liquor into the drink.



Yeah! 乾杯!




ROUND 2:






The alcohol content in the drinks was low because I didn't feel tipsy like I usually would after one drink. It's also not really expensive- about 410円 per drink.

We decided to head back to Weekly Mansion afterwards because we were undecided about what to do. We passed by ポプラ, the convenience store near the Weekly Mansion where some of us bought more drinks. Both Beau and I were not fans of beer but for some reason we both bought one each. It had 7% alcohol and was honestly quite horrible tasting. On our way back, we decided to go back to Kati's room to play 終極密碼 (zhong zi mi ma) a number guessing/drinking game that has been popularized by Taiwanese game shows. Not wanting to drink our beers anymore, Beau and I mixed our beers into a "cocktail of death" as the forfeit of each round.

I know this sounds kind of evil but it was super fun watching other people drink up all of our shitty beer. The expression on their faces: Priceless.
