After work today Toshi took me to Tokyo Tower. I never know what I am doing that day until that day and sometimes only a few hours before hand. Today about 15 minutes before we are leave we are working and I hear someone shout Earthquake! I look up from my desk and from where I sit I can see everyone in the office and everyone is turned facing me. I see that the monitors are swaying, I am sure the look on my face was priceless considering the laughter. It isn't much movement and I can understand how I missed it. Toshi comes out of his office and I can tell that he is telling the others that we are going to the Tokyo Tower in Japanese, I then notice that he makes motions with his hand making a joke that we will be in the tower when an earthquake hits. That is a very scary thought. We take the train to get there. We arrive and I am a little nervous about going up butI can't wait all at the same time. Toshi suggests that I take a picture, it is dark out and the tower is lit up. It has 2016 lit brightly and Toshi informs me that this is the the year Tokyo will host the Summer Olympics. We get the tickets and we head up to the oberservation deck. The view is amazing. The entire city is lit up, I can see Shinjuku area where I went last night with Emily. I took pictures, but they don't do the view justice. As we are walking around the observatiion deck I notice all the couples. What a fun date that would be and it made me miss Holliday-san (Gerald). After me make the round around observation deck we go up another 100m ( i believe) A group is crammed into this little elevator and as we are going up, I believe that Toshi was getting nervous the higher we went up. As we are riding the elevator, the annoucer says that they elevator will creak and this is normal, I don't care how normal this is, we are 250 m above the ground, this doesn't seem right. We arrive safely, and do another round on this deck. We head down and take a taxi to dinner. The Taxi door opens automatically, he gets in and I follow, I close the door and am informed that they close automatically and I could cause damage for closing them. OOPS... I don't know where we went but we ate chicken fajitas and pizza. The combination of foods amazes me. But it was good. Tomorrow is shopping with Emily again and I believe another co-worker is meeting us for lunch. Then SUNDAY IS DISNEY SEA!!!!
