Tales of Nippon: Enero 11, January 11th

La razon de mi visita a Makuhari no fue el centro de convenciones donde se celebran ciertos eventos de manga y video juegos, sino visitar y conocer la universidad de mi amigo.
La universidad es grande, con un estilo occidental, como podeis ver en la imagen, con jardines, zonas llenas de bicicleas y una cafeteria con un menu totalmente japones... Nosotros, claro, comimos ramen.

Como tenia tiempo decidi buscar el edificio de TV Tokyo, que lo encontre, quede justo a un lado de la torre de Tokyo. Asi que no desperdicie la oportunidad para subir a sus dos mirados. La vista de Tokyo de noche es cautivadora, y la torre en si es impresionante.
Volvi a Roppongi, para tomar algo en un Starbucks y poner a prueba cierta leyenda urbana de la zona... Si un extjero va y se siente en un Starbucks de Roppongi, algun japones o japonesa se acercara para hablar. Una de dos, es mentira, o soy la excepcion que confirma la regla. Al menos tome un buen te y pude disfrutar de leer un libro.

The reason for my visit to Makuhari was not the Convention Center in which some manga and video games events take place, but to visit the university in which my friend studies.
The university is big, with an occidental style, as you can see on the first image, with gardens, bicicle parkings, and a caffeteria with an all Japanse menue... of course, for lunch we had ramen.
After leaving my friend at work, in Shinjuku, once more, I made my way to Roppongi, where, besides the Konami building, they have made a new and modern area with fountains, stores and impresive buildings. Among other things, I found the spider from the image, which happens to be the same one that can be found in the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

Since I had time, I decided to go look for the TV Tokyo building, wich I found, which left me just next to the Tokyo Tower. I didn't let the oportunity to visit it's two viewpoints go by. The sights from the tower are breath taking, and the tower is just impresive.
I wento back to Roppongi to drink something at a Starbucks and try my luck with a certain urban legend... If you sit in a Starbucks in Roppongi, a Japanese (girl if you're a guy, guy if you're a girl) will come and talk to you. Either it's a lie, or I'm the exception that confirms the rule. At least I had a good tea and enjoyed reading a book.

como mola la aranya gigante
A mi me parece una estafa... Una arana gigante, que se supone es una obra de arte... Y hay dos iguales. Es como si hubiese dos "Mona Lisa" originales.
