Roppongi
Went to the Mori Art Museum in Roppongi today. Pretty standard modern art stuff, except the whole museum is on the 52F and it’s got a 360 degree view of Tokyo, really neat what you can see from up there. Reminds me of Dallas/Fort Worth in the way that it just keeps on extending into the distance as far as the eye can see. They also had the “Pixar: 20 years of animation” exhibit which was absolutely amazing. Concept art and sculptures from all the Pixar movies, and we all know how much I love concept art. Roppongi’s an interesting place. Kinda imagine CityPlace but more Tokyo (compact and vertical). Basically super-overpriced things at fancy shops. Lots of english speakers there too, which was a nice change. Managed to find an Irish Pub that wasn’t lying (unlike Denny’s…grrrr), irish beers with chicken and chips (yes they had fish and chips, no I don’t like fish and chips). Really cute waitress who was fun to talk (read: flirt) with too. She’d just spent the last year at Boston University and spoke excellent english, she was headed back to the states next year to go to Denver, Colorado. Really nice girl but I had to resist the urge to invite her out to dinner ;Roppongi Pics
That’s pretty much it, easy day (I could’ve gotten more accomplished but I failed at finding Roppongi)
