TOKYO, JAPAN. My first trip to the city was a BURTHDAY GIFT TO MYSELF IN 2022. THE COUNTRY HAD JUST OPENED ITS BORDERS, POST PANDEMIC. I WAS WORKING ON PARIS MOSEL ON GUAM. I tOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO FLY 3.5 HOURS TO THE MOST POPLATED CITY ON EARTH. I STAYED AT THE SHINJUKU SHAREHOUSE. A DORM STYLE APARTMEN, SHARED WITH 8 OTHER TRAVELERS. OUR HOST AND HIS WIFE SHOWED MYSELF AND GUESTS AROUND. TKAING US TO THE TEMPLE. TO SEE THE ASAHI STATUE THAY LOOKS LIKE A “GIANT SHIT” MADE OF GOLD. IN MY INVENTORY: CLOTHEA FOR 3 NIGHTS, AN ACID TAB, A BOTTLE OF STEIN PALMBERG. WE OPENED IT ON MY BIRTHDAY. I SHARED WITH A FEW OF THE ROOMIES AND HOST. They all agreed the wine was superb. I got drunk one evening in Golden gai and was dragged to a buy me drinky bar by a man from Nigeria. The bar dim with lights glowing purple and blue, lines of light traces around the ceiling and the booths. The owner was from Romania she had been in Japan for 14 years her goal was to drain your bank account. Her team was there to do it. A woman from Nigeria and a woman from Hawaii were ordered to sit at my table they talk younup and force you to buy drinks they put on my dj set on the screens lining the edge of the bar. They insisted on serving me cocktails and shiny wine they even brought me weed and let me smoke it in the club. They took every dollar i didn’t have. Swipe it on the card.

I wanted to take acid during this travel session but i felt japan was too intense. When i drop acid i need a few minutes of space hard to do in a sharehouse in a city of millions.

I went to jbs and gifted him a few records. I would never go to a buy me a drinky again tourist shit. They got me , but it's all good.
