• Roppongi wander

    22. december 2022, Japan ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    I headed out to stretch my legs and get some food, I didn't really have any plan so started with just getting some Wendy's. Got myself a burger with maple fries and latte coffee cold drink. It was a bit random but didn't taste too bad.
    I then saw in my lonely planet map that there were some places to check a little south so I headed that way.
    I found a tall building and when I got close saw this blue garden down below so went to check that out, looks like it was some advertising for avatar but also in Christmas lights. Was quite nice to walk around.
    I then wandered abck and found a street with all the trees lined with lights. It must have been the glamorous side of town as all the Louis Vuitton and Rolex type shops were lined up along this street.
    I then decided to try head the opposite direction which led me to Tokyo midtown. I found another arrangement of Christmas lights which let me to an ice skating rink. I figured stuff it, I'll give it a go and fell almost instantly. I was not expecting the skates to rock back and forward on a point, apparently that's figure skating style.
    I did a couple of hours and by the end of it I could do some laps with a little speed but was still not confident to use edges or cross overs or anything like that.
    There were a guy and girl dresses as Santa and Mrs Claus who must have been professional as were doing full spins in the air before landing.
    I then headed back to the hotel for some dinner and a drink and to watch a movie. It was a pretty lazy day but glad I got out and saw a bit of Roppongi.
