Leuke gast heer en vrouw. Ze namen me mee naar een lokaal kinderfeest. Iets met wensen en verbranding. En wat les kunnen geven in zelfverdediging.

Shaq took me out partying two nights in a row. The guy is awesome. Come here if you’re looking for a highly social vibe where it’s easy to talk to people. The izakaya on the first floor also attracts some locals who were great for a chat. The sleeping space was clean and the lockers were big enough for my day bag. I felt very comfortable here.
