Random taxi ride from a Tokyo Club back to a friend of a friends home to crash, at 4am, gotta wait 'til 5am for the trains to start back up...




Giacomo: What do you think Eldred - this road or that road?
Des: Oh that is it. We're getting a taxi - Sumimasen!
Giacomo: Ohhh, I wanted to go for a stroll...
Des: Nope, I wanna go home to bed. You two give directions.
Eldred: Ahhhh, I don't know where we are...
TJ: oh man, good call Des.
Giacomo: Okay, okay. But I want my maaaassskkkk.
Driver: Hai. なに　なに　にほんご (asking what I assume "where are ya headed?)

Des: I can't BELIEVE we were going to walk this!
