more bleugh

although seemingly mostly recovered by the evening, I decided to take a night off of heavy drinking. this was scuppered when two Cambridgeshire chickies (Holly, Lucy) turned up and (after I had finished teasing them about their inability to make a pot noodle properly) revealed that it was their last day in Japan and that they'd never had sake. 650ml x 2 tetrapaks was acquired rapidly from a nearby convenience store (on the way finding perhaps the only FamilyMart in Japan that doesn't sell alcohol), the contents microwaved and rapidly inserted into the various occupants of the common room (about 10 people peak). At about 2330 all the sake was gone but there was still some beer and fruity cocktail stuff floating round. A second mission to the convenience store resulted in 1L of Asahi, 1L of fruity cocktail cans and 2L of sake. At about 0020 the common room was closed, but the man doing the closing suggested we could hang out by the nearby river. This we did, polishing off both the rest of the alcohol and a third supply run for more beers and fruity cocktail (I had guava flavour). Some people came, some people went, some people were too friendly to others (not me this time!), and by 0300 we were pretty much worn out and stumbled the 100m back to the hostel. Luckily someone could remember the door code.
