Alan and Akie

Alan, a friend from Scotland recently tied the knot with Akie. To celebrate, I met up with Alan on the 12th of May and then also met up with them both on Saturday the 17th of May.

On the twelfth, we had food and beers at the top of a famous department store called Takashimaya. It was a very enjoyable afternoon as we sat outside with our food and drink. We were both on holiday so I guess that was an added bonus. I felt slightly the worse for wear the following day.

On the 17th of May, Alan and Akie had arranged a small party in Shibuya, one of the most popular night spots in Tokyo. The place was teeming with people, all set on a night out on the town. We went to an Indonesian restaurant for dinner and the food was quite agreeable. It was good to meet some of Alan's other friends again and we were all in good spirits. The video should give you some idea of how busy Shibuya gets.

We had planned to go to a nightclub but that fell by the wayside and we eventually ended up in a Japanese eatery for more refreshments. We all had a good evening and Alan was on his best behavior as he only kicked one stranger all night.

Congratulations to Alan and Akie!
