My relationship with the Hub as a long term immigrant / expat
Year 1: get the train with fellow eikaiwa monkeys into central tokyo and go there on pay day. Its a classy, but expensive place. They have PINTS of beer and its amazing. Some girls there are from saitaima, they are beautiful. I only have shirokiya or conbini beers in my backwater station to compare it to.
Year 2: go to the Hub to try and get laid. Mostly ikebukuro and shinkjuku. Usually do. Multiple visits to STI clinics.
Year 3: im now the worst kind of gaijin, thinking i know better than everyone else, only go to the Hub in an ironic way, or because of happy hour. Make fun of everyone else in there.
Year 3-5: pretend i hate the place and only ever go to local izakayas that noone else has heard of, but actually have a hub gold card.
Year 5 -10: dont go there, but miss it. All my friends think 2rooms or similar shit is cool. I wish i was at the Hub. Im mostly sad.
Year 10 onwards: confident in myself, reguarly go to the Hub by myself for a pint of cider and buffalo wings or a lamb kebab to hit my protein goals. Dont care what anyone thinks. Happy, thriving. Annoyed i threw away my gold card.
