roppongi





Went to Roppongi today.  It's apparently where a lot of foreigners hangout.  There are a few art museums in the area.  The first pic is the Mori Tower.  It has an art museum and an observation deck.  I'm going to go back when the visibility is better.  Can't see spending 1500 yen on an overcast day.  Found a really cool bookstore with lots of awesome and very expensive design books.  Also, saw some places where I might eat [pizza, indian, Japanese macrobiotic].

How many Japanese yen it would be in proportion to American dollar??

It's not exact but for purposes of daily shopping I just add a decimal point. 1500 yen would be $15.00. It actually comes out to just under $14.00. The calculator on your Mac will do currency conversions. Put in a number then got to the top menu bar - Convert / Currency. Prices of things are not bad provided you know where to shop.
