Towering iron

I happened by both the 東京タワー (Tokyo Tower) and the 東京ドーム (Tokyo Dome) today.

I didn’t have my camera with me…so I took a few photos with my 携帯電話のカメラ (cell-phone camera):

Almond Cafe is closing…

The カフェアマンド六本木 (Roppongi Almond Cafe) which opened in August 1946 will close tomorrow (Saturday, January 3, 2009).

It will re-open in a new building very close to it’s current location…but it’s still surprising that they’re relocating.

In front of the カフェアマンド六本木 (Roppongi Almond Cafe) is a popular meeting spot for people meeting in 六本木 (Roppongi, Tokyo).
If people meet in 渋谷 (Shibuya, Tokyo), they usually meet near the Hachiko statue. If they meet in 新宿 (Shinjuku, Tokyo), they’ll often meet near the Studio Alta building. If they want to meet in 上野 (Ueno, Tokyo), they often meet in front of the Takamori statue. And if people meet in 六本木 (Roppongi, Tokyo), they usually meet in front of カフェアマンド六本木 (Roppongi Almond Cafe).
It’s a landmark.
