2008....final agenda completed. (check!)

its already new years even here in japan, and not sure what the blog would post it. it mite still be the 30th if this is under the US time.

I wanted to go to the TOKYO TOWER and go up the stairway since i heard that it is possible to do that. this was actually one of my "agendas" i wanted to tackle for the year 2008.
--- this is 333m tall. pretty high, eh?
So i went up on the 27th, it was a nice liberating feeling. it only was 600 steps and we can only go up to the middle main observatory which is 150m from the ground.
thats me as i was going up to the 531st step...almost there.
--- this is called the "look-down" window. yup indeed. nice.
The tower is 333m and it just so happens to be its 50TH ANNIVERSARY since it was built. kinda was hoping that it wasnt too hyped up because usually in japan, once its on the news or ppl "talk" about it, EVERYONE just goes....! but i went early and it wasnt too bad. so yes, the climbing wasnt bad at all. it was good. the view was gorgeous being it was crisy and chilly/a bit windy.
Mt. Fuji in the view, 360degree view of tokyo and its nearyby prefectures....quite nice.

man-o-man, its gonna be 2009 in about 11hours....new year's resolution......***year 2009 will be an exciting year, where i will have lots more smiles, i hope***
