Tokyo is a big city

Tony, former fellow philosophy student/"cut-up", is currently touring around Japan looking at bright lights, shrines, and the like. He crashed at our place a couple of nights, and although our work schedule interfered somewhat, we were still able to take him around town a little bit, mostly Shibuya and Roppongi Hills. We went up the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills (first time for all of us), and took in the "City View" (from the 50th floor, the only thing in view is city, city, and more city) and Mori Art Museum--a pretty good museum, insofar as it managed to hold my interest pretty much the whole way through (I'm not much of a museum person).

I've decided that showing people around Tokyo for the first time is pretty neat; it helps remind you how awesome the city is after you've gotten used to it. A great moment was when, after leaving a Shibuya izakaya and walking 2 or 3 blocks under the cover of the concrete jungle plus an umbrella, Tony caught a glimpse of the sky, and only then realized that it was night time.
