I went to an Irish pub (The Dubliners Irish Pub) in Shinjuku yesterday. It was packed with people, as it was the night I went a couple of years ago. It was similar to an Irish pub except for a few important points:
- When we went in, a man immediately approached us, asked how many of us there were, and led us to our table.
- The male/female ratio was much lower than in Ireland.
- The TV didn’t have soccer, rugby, or hurling, but had skiing on. Close enough I suppose.
- Most importantly, there was no bar. Everything is ordered through the waiters.
Guinness was almost twice the price that it is in Ireland, and my friend tried it and said it tastes a lot more watery (less creamy) than it does in Ireland.
I got a new tshirt in a shop on Takeshita-dori.

Haiji is the Japanese pronunciation of Heidi. Here’s some context:
