Beware of Ropongi and the Ghana Man

All you can drink for $50 plus strippers. Yeah right.

Strippers (2 of them) looked to be 14. Not right at all. Drinks? Tasted funny. We were approached by the man from Ghana, who took us downstairs. When you enter, you cannot see the rest of the bar. We pay and go further inside...to a 10x 10 room. Some business. Drinks bubbled for some reason and we were scared that we would be missing kidneys by nights end. Tried to leave and the door was locked! SCARY Sh*t.

Unique Suggestions: Look inside the place before you pay. Don't trust the Ghana man. Or any man who is paid to drag customers from the street.

Fun Alternatives: Ropongi was hot....20 years ago. Go somewhere else. A karaoke bar in Tokyo. Anything but here.

When I was in Tokyo I remember walking along quite happerly when outside this shop (art gallery) there are two girls posted and they hand you a postcard (free) and then they ask you to go inside the gallery which is full of good quality paintings that are so expensive it would've taken longer to write the 0's in yen then to paint the picture.

Unique Suggestions: There is no pressure to buy and you can go on your way after pretending to be interested after a few minutes.

Fun Alternatives: Just walk past and don't acknolege them.
