last night, i met up with my ex-colleagues to have some food and drinks together. it's been more than months since i saw them last time. they were like dead tired, they were like monkeyed around tokion time speed. anyway, we gathered in six-tree place and looked for place to settle. but it was friday night at around 9 o'clock, so most places were packed and even there were lines waiting. besides, it was raining.
昨晩は、以前の職場の同僚達と飲み食いのために集まりました。彼らに会うのはかなり久しぶり。かなり疲れているようで、トキオン時間のスピードに翻弄されているような。と言うわけで、シックス・ツリーで落ち合い、落ち着く場所を探すことに。だが、なんせ金曜日の夜、しかも9時頃といったこともあり、ほとんどの場所はお客さんで溢れかえり、更には待ちの列も。外では雨が。
finally, we found one place where they serve skewers. we of course ordered various skewers and drinks, stayed there for about a couple of hours. there comes pay time, and we were all surprised by the price; it was twice more than we expected, which meant places we used to go in the town we used to live. i was kinda busted by the fact: money rules in here..... oh, not to mention that food was not like excellent as compared to the prices.
で、とうとう串焼きのお店を見つけたのです。勿論、串焼きとお酒をあれこれオーダーしまして、2時間ばかし居たのかな。それで支払いになったんですが、その値段の高いのなんのって。以前に住んでいた街にあるお店なんかに比べて倍くらいの高さ。金が物を言う、という事実に打ちのめされた感じでした・・・。あ、それでですね値段と比較すると食べ物はちぃ～っとね、イマイチというかなんというか。
