It was great.&nbsp; Then, we decided experience one of the things that many Japanese do every night &#8211; play Pachinko.&nbsp; I remember when I studied in Japan walking past the Pachinko parlors hearing the sound of the metal beads pouring out of the machines and loud music, but I was never brave enough to go inside.&nbsp; Now was our chance.&nbsp; We found the Dragon Fortune and headed inside.&nbsp; We put 1000 yen (about US$10) in the machine and had to have the gaming &#8220;helper&#8221; come show us how to do it.&nbsp; I&#8217;m pretty sure that his help would&#8217;ve been prohibited in Vegas.&nbsp; Anyway, I tried my hand at it for a while, not knowing what I was doing except turning a knob.&nbsp; Then Nick played and struck gold.&nbsp; He was mesmorized by the flashing lights, deafening music and the Japanese video saying &#8220;Got Fever&#8221;.&nbsp; Three crates of metal balls later, our &#8220;helper&#8221; was motioning Nick to stop.&nbsp; I thought maybe he wanted to immediately check him into Gambler&#8217;s Anonymous, but instead, it was closing time (yay!&nbsp; That&#8217;s the first time we&#8217;ve closed a place down in a while).&nbsp; Nick had earned more than 4,000 balls, which translated to about US$40.&nbsp; Most people traded in their balls for cigarettes, but we opted for a box of lemon drops and cash.<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;
