Didn't see that coming...

Alright,

So I probably should have shut my mouth. Saying I attract trouble where ever I go... More then likely jinxed my trip to Osaka and Tokyo.

While in Shinjuku, Tokyo I had the pleasure of getting in a fight with two 'gang members' for lack of a better term.



I hadn't gone out that night looking to get into a fight... It just kind of happened. One minute I was walking past a group of what I thought were party goers and the next I had copped a blow to the face.

After stumbling into the nearby wall and having some guy beat up on me I decided that it sucked... Alot. I was able to get him off me and on the ground before his mate hit me from behind and had me on the ground.



I was able to stand up still seeing stars, and finally coming to the conclusion that I was over this experience. I lashed out at the bastard with a punch... Hard, even by my standards. I know I hurt him because it hurt my hand. I thought I had broken it by the way it began to throb from the wrist down to my fingers.

I was glad he didn't get up because he would have been pissed. I was able to get boots into him while he was down before some big black bloke pulled me off him and into a side alley.

His words too me were more or less this: "Run home as fast as you can!"



So with my arm held across my chest by my other, blood streaming down my face and hands I did just that.

Not something I want to experience again anytime soon. I took the photos the next morning before heading to Disney Land and after having a shower to wash a heap of dried blood off my face and arms.

Kind of funny... When I walked into the Hostel the sweet old lady behind the desk looked at me in my stated and asked 'Did you have fun?' in her croaky Japanese voice. Maybe she thought I had been eating Jam all night...
