Roppongi

---

First of all I just have to say that I am not staying in Akasaka, it's Asakusa, two completely different places. I have been mixing them up this entire time.

Tonight we went to Roppongi and it was awesome. I saw some of the most amazing architecture in Roppongi Hills. We went to the top of the Mori Tower to see the Tokyo City View, an incredible 360 degree view of the city. We actually went to an Italian restaurant for dinner, it was kinda gross but I think Ben really needed to eat something other than Japanese food. Definitely not doing that again.

We walked up the main street in Roppongi where all the bars and clubs are located. Roppongi is a big hotspot in Tokyo and a popular place for tourists. We were literally attacked by random people while walking down the street practically begging us to go to their bar or club. I never experienced that before, they were so aggressive and would follow you down the street. We finally ended up in this completely shady bar but the music was good. The people that worked there even spoke English. We didn't realize that the subways close a little after 12 so we took a crazy expensive cab ride home. We are going to go back on Friday night it will probably be more exciting.

We decided to cut Kyoto out of our trip, we are going to take a day trip to Kamakura instead. There is just so much to see in Tokyo and not enough time. Mt. Fuji is still up in the air. I'm stil torn. It's pretty much up to me and I really can't decide. the weather is still pretty bad. It rained all day today. I am off to bed now.


Goodnight.
