Irashiamase!!!!!
You will hear this screamed at deafening levels when you enter a restaurant, or evem more shrill (high pitched!) levels in a girls clothin shop. Well, anywhere!!!
It basically means "welcome".
You will remember this about Japan because yuo hear it everywhere you go, and it echoes in your head.
There are many many places to party in the Roppongi area. I would suggest Henri Africa's to start with and yuo can go from there. Careful of the places that charge a bottle charge but that is mostly for the Japanese biz guys.
As far as places to eat, Surprisingly Tokyo has some GREAT Indian restaurants. Sorry but can't remember the name but you'll see several of them around the area. Butter Chicken and Saag mutton are my favorites in Tokyo, I may go back just for those dishes!! These are fairly reasonably priced as well. But again, there are many places to eat to include the sushi bars and korean BBQ, which are also great!
Take a lot of money! It'll be expensive!
Have FUN!
We're in Tokyo from 30 Dec 08- 6 Jan 09 so will be there for new year's eve. We'd like some tips from anyone that can tell us where to eat/drink party in Roppongi on New Year's eve.
Also, any tips for staying in Tokyo over that period - things to do, places that might be shut etc would be welcome.
Thanks
Fiona

Hey Fiona!
I'll be in the Tokyo area around New Years as well, and I'll probably be staying solo, so if you wanna meet up and party like rock-stars definitely give me a link! I've been living in Japan for a few months now, and I know (more or less) how to get around in Tokyo (their subway systems are definitely complicated), so i could also double up as your tour guide :) But seriously, i'm definitely looking for some gaijins to hang out with so let me know if you're interested.
Bye for now!
We are travelling around malaysia Thailand Cambodia and Vietnam in Nov for 3 months we are hoping to travel pretty light and are wondering whether to take small suitcases with wheels or rucksacks.Weare planning train travel not just flights.Also what is the best way to take money and what is a reasonable budget to work on?
I would take a rucksack (the smaller, the better, ifyou need anything, yuo can get it quite cheap there), streets are full of people selling things, potholes and other obstacles for a suitcase on wheels.
I agree, take a backpack luggage is dirt cheap there (thailand) if you need to pick anything up. I got a nice (smaller) hiking pack for 400 baht to carry my purchases back to china. the best way to take money is bank card. there are atm's everywhere, that way you won't have to bother with constantly changing traveler's checks. just be sure to let your bank know before hand that you will be using it abroad so they don't suspend it when they start seeing charges in thailand or cambodia.
I agree with Andy and Uli. My wife and I took backpacks to carry our clothing, toiletries and small medical kit. I also had my camera bag and my wife a daypack. When not travelling long distances, it was easy to secure our backpacks in hotel rooms and to then use the daypack to transport maps, water, snacks etc.
I had a 65lt (with a 15lt extension) and my wife used a 55lt.
There are many good brands out there and look for an internal frame.
