Wonderful study, well-written. The dilemma I think is that when visitors hover their mouse into your name and see that url directing to a blogger profile in their status bar, its much more probably that they won’t click it. Most readers just don’t have the time to scan another page so in my opinion that would much more likely give lesser traffic.

I went to Heartland in December 2005 briefly. I was amazed at how much English I heard, and how fucking difficult it was to get a drink.

We promptly left (without being able to get a drink) and went around the corner to BELG AUBE… which was considerably less crowded, I was able to get myself a drink AND! They had tasty imported Belgian beers! Huzzah!

Yeah Billy, I know what you mean. I always end up in Shubuya Hub. 190 yen cocktails in happy hour are a good selling point! And it’s always full of cool women.

Woeful- It’s about 1800 yen ($18) to see a movie here. Quantum of Solace isn’t coming out until January! That’s annoying. I’ve seen every James Bond film since View to a Kill at the movies, you know.

Is “Quantum Of Solace” playing in Japan? What’s the going rate a movie ticket there anyway? I think I’m going to see it tomorrow…

Never been to Heartland Bar, but hell, it’d be worth the trip just to watch the guys pretending to be rich in order to get laid. I mean any good English teacher or IT guy knows that places like The Hub are cheaper and offer a pretty good chance of success.

Not that I would know anything about that, but…

Sounds like something I should read! I’ve read alot of Martin Amis, but not much Kingsley. I’ll check that out.

Maybe it was 25… I think that the two of us could o a lot of damage there! BTW, I’m reading a great book, a collection of Kingsley Amis’ work called Everyday Drinking. I highly recommend it.

Yeah, I’ve heard that expression, but it was 25! (Nobody wants a Christmas tree after the 25th). Pretty shocking. You get 50 year old men over here who are still looking for a woman under 25. Crazy.
Luckily I’m not that picky!
I’ve been to Heartland Bar a couple of times and it’s crazy. The women circle you like sharks.
