The rest of the time, we looked around Odaiba a bit. The ferris wheel was lit up and really pretty, but I couldn't get a good picture of it. We got tickets for the observatory dome from Fuji TV, but we were pooped, so we'll probably just go back later and use them (The observatory is the big round ball, below.) Odaiba is really cute and colorful. We saw the Rainbow Bridge all lit up with lit up boats floating around under it, and there's a fake Statue of Liberty by the water. (I have no idea why.) I'll probably end up going back again some other time.

Fuji Television
Today after class, 18 of us went to Odaiba to visit the Fuji Television station. When we got there, they gave us bags with fans and a dvd about the station. I guess the tour they took us on was special because we went into restricted areas. (We didn't see any famous people though.) We saw two of the main rooms, one where all the stations come into, and the other where Fuji TV sends everything out from. Apparently, if you do as little as even touch the glass window, security will come and take you away. We saw the sets for the sports broadcast (below) and for a show called わかってちょーだい! (Please Understand!) Overall, it was pretty interesting.
