Ireland

Since the Cockney-oke went so well (not really) we decided to have Irish-oke. Also Claire is leaving and this will be her last themed-oke of the year. So we made it Irish, in remembrance of her.

Anything goes with a costume, as long as it was Irish. I decided to go as a Roman Catholic. Louise went as a nun. Claire came decked in the flag and Irish-praising clothing. James put shamrocks on his face. Courtney was an Irish step-dancer. Matt and Maya brought Irish pins. Sean was the Irish Potato Famine. and Kwadwo brought the potatoes.

As we were walking to the bars from Curry Dinner, we encountered AwaOdori music. It wouldn't be summer without it. So in our Roman Catholic garb, In our habits and hats, we danced in the streets to AwaOdori.

We traveled from bar to bar, gracing them with our lovely Irish voices. At Mike's bar, Matt love pissed off a Japanese guy by trying to hold a glow-stick halo over his head while we took a picture. Mike had to later apologise to him for us... We sang dutifully in Irish accents, the crowning moment was "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, rapped in Irish. Watch it here!

After torturing Mike's customers with our singing, we left and headed to Bar Bitch. On the way a drunk old man was leaving a dirty massage parlor, saying goodbye to his massage ladies, when he spotted Louise and I dressed in all our holiness. He was laughing so we decided to go up to him and bless him. Fill his heart with goodness. I think it really scared him, haha.

We met Sean and Kwadro at Bar Bitch. Louise polished off her old shochu bottle and was gifted a new one, on which she put her new name tag, filled with nun-related humor. We sang and laughed. The Irish accents were slipping at this point but it was still a good time. After Bitch came Ingrid's, where general dancing and debauchery happened. At this point in the evening no one remembers much.

The following morning we woke up very early. 9o'clock early. James was still asleep so we decided to jump in bed with him to wake him up. Then we went to Mos Burger for breakfast and the weekend was over.
