Trip to Roppongi


Today I took on the next level of subway madness and decided to go to Roppongi, which required me to change trains. I wasn't quite sure what fare I had to pay so I just paid the fare to Shinjuku where I would change trains and hope I would figure it out there. I did! Roppongi is the home of many Japanese corporate headquarters (IBM, Samsung, Fuji, etc). Lots of high end restaurants and rich people walking around. Roppongi is also home to the Roppongi Hills observatory, which is a building with an extraordinary 360 degree view of Tokyo. The picture above is a look at the observatory. I was proud of my photography on this one so I put the Japan 2006 stamp on it and will probably print it out. The pictures below were taken from all around the circumference. The trip isn't all fun and play... I did have to be back for some meetings at 3pm.

Tomorrow I should be visiting Keio Yuchishta elementary school, a private and very exclusive school. They do a lot with LEGO robotics. I will also be visiting the Lego Education Center and the CREFAC robotics clubhouse. It should be a busy day and I hope to get a lot of different kinds of pictures.
