I am not a heel person generally although I have been known to wear them from time to time. Being a taller girl generally means that when I put on a pair I tower.. tower above the rest. In Germany this wasn’t a huge issue… here it’s a little bit of one.. although when I was invited to stay at some hotel that is associated with the Base for the night… I figured being around a bunch of Americans in heels wouldn’t be a bad thing.. and it wasn’t! (AND I didn’t break my ankle!)
In Tokyo there is definitely a strong military presence and so because of that there are tons of Americans afoot. This hotel was created as a place for them to get away from the city and relax surrounded by all that is American.. including greasy food, cheap drinks and english cable television. My friend had scored a room there somehow so she signed us in and the fun began. We were also able to do a bit of shopping at the store there.. I wound up buying a fantastic coat as well as lots of goodies including Tootsie Rolls and chocolate pudding! The things one starts to crave when it’s no longer available…
Oh and the food and drinks are priced in American dollars and cheap! We had a fantastic dinner and probably about 7 bottles of wine and who knows what else.. and I don’t think I paid more than 60 dollars for the night…
I also met some nice-ish men who were not intimidated by my height. However when one of my friends accused him of being a murderer due to his job.. he seemed to disappear. Not a popular idea to spread around a military environment.
It was a nice night and while I don’t generally go out with that group of girls I’m really glad I did. We party well together.
Anyway I’m feelin it today so gonna end this thing and eat a chocolate pudding or two.
haha, i wore a 4 inch heel today aswell! But it wasnt the first time
