Tokyo Mid town

TOKYO MID TOWN!! located in Roppongi (Nami`s work area) opened about 6 months ago. Nami has been wanting to take me there since it opened so we figured that she had to go to her work to hand in a report, that it we should make a day of it in Roppongi and go to Mid Town. It is an amazing shopping complex, 7 or so stories high, bamboo plants, water falls, indoor outdoor flow and had all the modern features. We hadnt eaten lunch yet, so we made our way into the foodcourt. IT was busy, esp considering it was around 3-4 pmish.

This is the foodcourt. Where they have the front counter facing the walkway and to the side a seating area. There are also blocks in the gap of each shop for people to wait. THe lines were packed and there was another food court connected to this one which was a lot more typical, with wide space and little shops where you buy your food and sit anywhere you choose, however the food didnt really appeal to us so we settled for "PHO" Vietnamese food.

We Had Chicken noodles. It Tasted great and the spring rolls were to die for. Although the dish was a little hot for Nami (they only put one slice chili but it was powerful) but she liked it. Like any ethnic food, its always great hearing the cooks speak in their native language, coz then your mind plays tricks on you and you are more inclined to believe that the food is authentic.

After lunch we took a stroll though the park. Its so nice to see greenery in a concrete jungle. However you could tell we were in a business orientated area as they had signs around the grass saying "do not walk here" and no playgrounds etc. Obviously not child friendly. Although they did have some wicked archy pieces and little water pathways etc. It was a nice relaxing walk.

We then ended up at Nami`s work, so she went in and i waited outside. Little did i realise that she was going to take 30 mins to hand in a report and it would rain in me, i got drenched and tired. I should have just gone into the shop!!..

Tired and wet we proceeded home (which involved a transfer in Shinjuku). After the train ride I got to Shiinjuku refreshed and a desire to play games. SO we got starbucks and toddled off to the game centre, played time crisis and took sticker photos..

It was about time to eat and i had a craving for KFC. But after discussion and impractical planning (jumped on wrong train, backtracked, still wrong area) we decided to give it a miss. We hired two dvds Dream Girls and Mamiya Brothers (kyodai) and ate curry at Nakau.

When we got home, Nami wanted to give me a facial massage and put on makeup as practice for her work. Unfortunately we did the later one first.

and.... I never did get that massage..

After a tedious 30 mins in the bath learning how to take off makeup, i was ready for bed. We started watching Mamiya brothers and in typical Nami fashion she was out like a light within the first hr. I stayed up.. It was a slice of life kinda movie, about two Innocent brothers who lived together. It wasnt really a feel good movie and although they had girl crushes it was not a love story just a story that left you relaxed i guess...

anyhoo im out.. peace...
