I dream of Roppongi Hills, well, not really. It's a pain the ass to get to in the mornings.
I've just accepted a new piece of work which will put me in Roppongi Hills (the actual office building) on a frequent basis. I've worked there before on a different project with a different company, but that was years ago.
Picked up my ID card and gate pass this morning and got some introductions out of the way.
I forgot how different the culture is here in the Hills. It's like leaving Japan and landing in a western country. Well, until you go back down the elevator and walk outside.
In the past, I was banished to Mori Ark Hills over at Tameike-Sanno, really didn't like working over there. You can only eat at Wolfgang Puck but so many times.
Would love to hear about any new daytime lunch spots that would be worth a try.
On a sidenote, I was at Starbucks this morning (B1F), guess you need a Macbook to fit in. lol.
Anyway, despite the morning drive (or train) in -- I'm looking forward to being here for awhile. This however, means that I won't be in Kabukicho as much with this new project.
