George Johnson's Visit to Japan

A night shot of the Tokyo Tower from Roppongi Hills Building



George Johnson, my former boss came to visit us for a few days in November. As an avid world traveler who had never been to Japan before, it was a perfect opportunity for him to visit knowing we were here. George stayed in Shinjuku, one of the busiest locales of Tokyo. On his second evening, Rodney and I took him to Asakusa for a view of the Sensoji Temple. After our stroll through the temple, we had a traditional Japanese tonkatsu dinner (breaded pork) and dined on a tatami floor restaurant.
The following day, Keiko was kind enough to accompany us to Roppongi Hills to visit the beautiful Mori Museum of Art to view the Bill Viola Video Art Exhibit. It was a first-time visit to this museum for all of us, including Markus.
