250m Up

Im up at the 250m observation deck of Tokyo Tower which is 333m tall and is the world's tallest self-supporting steel tower. The Eiffel Tower is 320m. It is much lighter than the E-Tower at 4000 tons (ET is 7000t). It opened in 1958 which is the year that Brazil won its first World Cup and the year that instant ramen was born. This observatory has a 360 degree view of Tokyo. This is my favourite shot. Here you can see the gorgeous Izumi Garden Tower. Due to the smog it may not show up all that well but the colour is a deep green that one would find in precious stones.

I'm hungry so time to go back to ground level and find some food...

  5. The crepes are uberthin and mostly made of egg so it's not as gross as you might think. I just have a very ubersensitivity to sweet now that I am so uberlow carb lifestyle-living. The crepe was delicious, actually. And It is now 5:33 and I'm just starting to get hungry, so it lasted the perfect amount of time! And the pizza sauce was good! They actually have a tuna salad pizza here. It's good. Haven't you ever baked tuna sandwiches with tomato sauce? Yummy!!!

    Stefnee - Yes, I remember us looking at it and thinking... "nah...." and then going back to our rooms for naps.
