Night out in Shibuya Tokyo

[johnny-depp uk]

Saturday 14th November.
First time out for Jack in Shibuya, I had no idea what the reaction would be. At first when I arrived at the famous Shibuya crossing I dont think anyone knew what to make of me, everyone that saw just dropped they`re jaws followed by a sharp intake of breath "Johnny Depp!!!" "Jack Sparrow!!" They knew who it was heh heh, as soon as the first person took a photograph, that was it, I had stopped counting after the 5th one. Not wanting to stay in the one place too long it was time for a walkabout, everywhere there where people wanting pictures (if only I could get a way to charge). I was meeting up with a mate Yoki at the train station then we went to Gaspanic, a small hipity hopity bar just near the crossing and we stayed for an hour or so before going on another walkabout.
Time was getting on a bit & Yoki had to go home as he was working the next day but I decided to stay in town as it was getting busier the later it got & once Jack is out, he stays (by 12am I thought it was going to be late by the time I got back to me host`s & didn`t want to wake them. Looking for a store for cigs I "bumped" into a crowd from Melbourne, a couple from Hong Kong & a British guy who stays here & we all stood in the street drinking a few beers when someone had the idea of going to a club called Womb, why ever not, when in Rome & all. Straight away the manager came down, gave me his card & bought me a rum which, I thought was the least he could do eh? We were all very well looked after & a good time was had by all, after some breakfast in McDonalds we went our separate ways, this was around 7am. I had not walked 10 feet when I saw two policemen running (& I mean running) towards me, bugga I thought they`ve seen me gun & sword & are about to arrest me, I could`nt be farther. They both rushed up & took my hands & began to vigorously shake them "Jack Sparrow, we are big fans" well, what could I do? I was still taken aback a bit when another two guys came over & the policemen started bowing to them, weird I thought, "no, no it`s alright" said the taller to the police, "he`s professional", he had thought the same as myself, that they were after me weaponry, turns out this guy & his PA is the CEO of a lot of the department stores & buildings in Shibuya, everyone going past were bowing at him, so he took me by the arm & we went a little walk & he was explaining all this to me, gave me his card, I did likewise & told me to call him. Very surreal moment indeedy, we shall see next week when I call him for some contacts heh. Twelve hours solid, I was knackered! All night there was photos & people generally going nuts to meet me, I need to turn this around to make some notes. Photos will be coming!!!
