Blah Blah Blah.... I understand the entire business model of making ends meet regarding a business, but a damn $20 (USD) beer (domestic swill or imported good or microbrew goodness) is just stretching it.

Had to vent here saying this.

Oktoberfest is hilariously overpriced, yet 1 liter of beer goes for around 10 € or $ 13,17....

Kabukicho in Shibuya or just all of Roppongi after dark. Massively overpriced everything.

Worst was 6800円 / $68 for a rum and coke.

$20, that's like 2 decent 6 packs. I would think worst case that buys you 2 beers at a bar, I mean unless you are buying something really special.

$20 should get you a shot of The Macallan 18yo. Forget beer.

Roppongi used to be the gaijin ghetto of Tokyo. And also the place people went find a quick hook-up. Or where girls went to be recruited for porn films. White foreign guys claimed to be actors, screenwriters or lawyers, and not the regular English teachers they were. African guys claimed to be rastafarians from Jamaica or hip-hop artists from New York or L.A. If you wanted to lose faith in humanity quick, Roppongi was a good place to go. But the embassies' upscale housing was around there, so there were also posh places around. Might be different now, that was a long time ago.

I wonder if the notorious gaijin dive Gas Panic is still around? Or the more upscale but equally sleazy meat market Charleston?

I was visiting my cousin who was stationed there. Kept getting interrupted at various venues with the ever so coy 'Buy me a drink' line.

You could easily avoid situations like these in the future by just leaning over to the lady and softly whispering into her ear : "On the Internet, people know me as Anal Canal...."

No, it's just some places in NYC are astoundingly overpriced at times. Take "The Oak Room" for instance.
