Last days of Tokyo - Sun 10 Jun

I did pretty well on my last-days-of-Tokyo wishlist. Ticks for:
- galleries
- architecture
- awesome nightclubs
- shopping (still more to go - stock changes killed some of my best gift ideas, darno)
- neon
- toystores
- electric city
- views - see below, endless nighttime skyline from Roppongi Hills tower, after a couple of beautiful and superbly curated exhibitions on the 40-somethingth floor.


PLUS
- an afternoon with Kawara, a great friend from Melbourne highschool, topped off by a karaoke trip down memory lane
- finding a magazine full of pictures of male and female bar hosts. It was too heavy for my already overstuffed luggage, but this is just a small taste of some of the fancy hairstyles sported by some young Japanese guys, and not just in magazines:


Missed out on
- live music - didn't have the brain power to figure out all that I needed to to make it happen (who's on, are they worth seeing, where they're on, how to get there).
- a flea market - rain and need of sleep.
- bunraku puppet show or noo dance drama - no bunraku was on, and the THREE HOUR noo show on Saturday would have taken too big a chunk of my schedule/life.

Not a bad effort at all!
