六本木

Few kanjis are as important as those one for foreigners coming in Japan, and willing to enjoy the night life here. The first one (六, ro) means 6, the second (本, pon) is used to count long objects, and the last one (木, ki pronounced gi) means tree. So basically, this place is called 6 trees. I have no idea why... but it is certain that there are not so many trees there left today. This is the place to go out in Tokyo. And the place to meet foreigners (and eventually Japanese girls).

However, Roppongi also became a trendy place, now that the Roppongi Hills complex has been completed. A huge buildings, lots of cinemas, restaurants, etc...

Here is the cafe Almond. The building looks cheesy, and the coffee itself seems not to be so good. But it is the best place to fix a meeting point, as it is located on the Roppongi crossing, and 1 minute away from the subway station. From there, all nightclubs, bars and restaurants are reached in less than 10 minutes.

I don't have enough room on my server to describe all the places we have visited in Roppongi. Basically, whatever the music you are interested in, you will find it there. I unfortunately don't have many pictures of Roppongi, as usually I am too busy to carry my camera. I promised to improve that for next updates... here are some pictures of my favorite place! I'm sure Hassen will recognize the place ;)

Although Hassen also enjoy many other places. For examples salsa clubs. Try to guess why he wanted to learn that dance... Below are pictures of Hassen's teacher, Kmicco, and Seiko and mine's, Carlos.

Also famous location... the "breakfast house" before taking the train home. The first train, I mean.

Another interesting view from Roppongi... the train station at 5:30 am, when people wait for the first train to go home.
