We are on Roppongi Hills Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Tokyo, 56th floor.
The view walking all around the glass walls is amazing, theTokyo Tower brights in red and white in the middle of the galaxy of other small lights.
More than that, it's like magic, I would never come back down.
A nice soft music all around, and this magic moving view like hypnotic.

IN THIS MASTERPIECE BY LUCA KUN...the neon lights are everywhere but hidden by the brighter lights of the city merged into one masterpiece, a panoramic image of the essence of Tokyo.
Like viewing a field of gems and jewels sparkling in a city of immense beauty and unimanageable history. I could live the rest of my life in Tokyo just riding trains, stopping now and then to eat at the red lantern cafes. .

There was no such store as a Ben and Jerry store when I was in Japan. There was no Mc Donalds, but there were plenty of other great places to shop. I arrived at the old airport in August of 1961 via Pan American. I rode the bus through the streets, a delight because there was no freeway at that time. Within 4 hours, I was at Atsugi, reporting to my squadron, VQ-1, at NAS Atsugi. It was a great time, 28 months I shall never forget.
It was a sad day when I had to say Sayonara shortly after celebrating Christmas of 1963. Departing Yokosuka on the USS GENERAL MANN, I had plenty of time to contemplate a chapter of my life that had just ended---forever. We sailed beneath the Golden Gate on my 22 birthday and I was home at last, never to be the same again. My memories of my time in Japan are golden as I have just turned 70. Where did the time go?
Throughout my time in Japan, the exchange rate was Y=360 per 1 U.S. Dollar, a great rate for shopping. Robert
