Tokyo Recap

After all business in Pusan, I was looking forward to my first trip to Tokyo. Touched down late, checked into the Granbell Shibuya. $200/night, right near Shibuya Station. Perfect, you can shower and watch the telly at the same time!

Slid over to Le Baron around 1am since Tokyo nightlife doesn't start until around then. Le Baron is a members-only club for the Japanese tastemaker elite. Oh, what?
