Tokyo - Day 3

Bosco is a wizard at figuring out all our transportation needs. So nice to just be able to trust him and follow along! There are so many subway and train lines - they are well marked and a lot of English is on signs.

We were both stuffed from Lunch, so we chilled at hotel for a while and skipped dinner. We just had some snacks while we watched the Free projection show, in the park, in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

After the show we walked around the Shibuya area near our hotel again and went in our first Don Quixote Store ( Dollar type store on massive steroids ) this one had 8 floors of things you didn't even think you might want. It was packed at 1030 pm too! Also when is the last time you saw a phone booth - super clean too!

Bosco and I went back to the Marina Bay Sands, Marquee Night Club for Dancing on Friday night. We got to the club around 11pm and they stayed open till 5 a.m! There was a little bit of a cue to get into the club, but I had bought our entry tickets online prior, so we went through quickly.

After walking through the Luxury Mall of MBS we went through the tunnel, under the street to the Hotel Towers . The lobby is very much like a Vegas Casino. Tower 1 is where the observation deck & Le Noir Cocktail Bar is at the front of the Ship and the french restaurant Ce La Vi is located behind these closer to Tower 2. Then comes the infinite edged swimming pool and end the aft section of the Ship is the italian restaurant & bar Lavo . We went up to the 57th floor and requested a walk in reservation at Lavo around 6 pm and we got lucky and were seated out on the terrace by 6:30 pm. We were there for sunset and both light shows, with prime viewing spots. They didn't rush us out at all and we enjoyed a yummy meal! When we left around 8:30 there was a crazy long cue waiting for tables, we got so lucky!
