down by the riverside everyone was jumping for some reason, i can't remember why now...
and what would be a night out in japan drinking without some karaoke!
getting closer to midnight we made a dash to go ring the temple bells. however there were a couple of hundred thousand other people who had the same idea so we started walking back. this was around 12:00, we brought some cream banana pancakes to celebrate. i asked for mine without bananas and this seemed to be very difficult for the lady to understand. japanese people seem like that sometimes, how could anyone possibly want even the slightest variation on something!
on the way home that morning it was barely awake people on the left and knocked out cold on the right.
