dang dude, me and my friend were wondering why it look smaller we thought they just had it in for the movie, :doh: :doh:
nice pix. i wonder other tourists miss out on it, not knowing what floor the piano bar section is, cause we were on the 41st or was it the 47th floor cause they had some bar there too. :bonk:

OHHHHH...i THINK i know what you're talking about...i think you went to the small bar on the lobby level of the hotel which is on the 41st Floor as you mentioned..if you didn't go UP to the 52nd Floor then you didn't see the New York Bar where the movie was filmed! (as in my picture).....

they don't check in japan...they don't give a sh*t...because ppl there don't usually go buckwild when they drink....

i got mad love for new york, trust me i lived in new york for three years...the only bar that might compare was atop the world trade center...it no longer exists. have you ever heard of a gymnasium on the 52nd floor of a buiilding in a major metropolitan city like tokyo...where you could see mount fuji in the distance...now that's fuggin' pimp, girl. :victory:

the ppl who want to join that gym pay an initial 4 million yen fee...an annual 264,000 yen fee and an entrance fee of 1,000 yen

in any case it doesn't matter...because, truthfully, we all know that girls get away with MURDA :usuck: unless you're the female who is absolutely BUSTED....they get in wherever they want!

yeah all bullsh*t aside it was a grandiose view....if you want to go to japan, coming from a big city like new york...you'd appreciate it and love it! i always say that tokyo makes new york look like boise, idaho. :P

i can see your point there....not too much ramen.

i try to mix it up, i had curry and rice today with onigiri, i guess that's quite a bit of rice there.

another day i might go for some udon or ramen noodles. :hehe:

I was gonna cook ground chicken donburi, but I forgot to thaw the chicken. :beaten:

Oh well, tomorrow's dinner.

Only found for Tokyo only and it's from 2000. Source
According to the Population Census in 2000, Tokyo has a population of 12,064,101 and area of 2186.9 km2. Tokyo is also part of the Greater Tokyo Area, which consists of Tokyo itself and the surrounding prefectures of Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba. The Greater Tokyo area is the largest metropolitan area in the world with a population of 33,418,366.

Also found this: more here, but the numbers are kind of small.
Shinjuku-ku
KM2: 18.23 ~ Square Miles: 7.03
2000 Population: 286,726
2001 Employment: 604,468
Employment / Population Ratio: 2.11
Cool! Everybody has 2.11 jobs ;) Chiyoda-ku has a ratio of 25. Must be an industrial zone.

interesting figures...almost 35 MILLION....crazy, meng.

that's equal to the ENTIRE population of CALIFORNIA! and california alone is, i think, either the FIFTH or SEVENTH richest economy in the World.....Greater Tokyo is just about one city....

nuts.

A lot of people... found this too.
Economically, Tokyo comprises one third of Japan's major industrial region, the other two-thirds are Kawasaki and Yokohama. A few of the more important industries are steel plants, manufacturing along with textiles and luxury goods.

You know in dramas, when someone's missing, they run around in the city for a few moments and always find the person they were looking for on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. I'm not sure if that's possible with so many people. :headscratch:

I think I'm way out of topic in the food thread. :sweat:
