HARLEY DAVIDSON: This company visit was pretty cool overall! Angela and I were assigned this Harvard Case Study, so about 20 minutes before entering we both gave a brief about the case and company. I felt as though mine was really beneficial- hit all the high points. After entering we were all brought to a conference room and were given a really generous gift: keychain, ads, magazine, catalog, etc. The presentation was very well planned with a power point presentation that correlated with packets at our seats. I asked a lot of questions at the end and found the visit highly educational. Everything is imported from the U.S.; hardly any merchandise in the showroom said Tokyo on it in the store.
SONY: We walked to sony and got ready for our company briefs, the wind was blowing like crazy. Food, hair, skirts, are blowing all around. We were in a wind tunnel of huge corporate buildings. As we enter, everyone is shocked at how impressive the building is. Super technological looking/feeling. Tall ceilings, open and symmetrical, sleek. Elevators were clear glass. We had a presentation in the movie room which was so relaxing and high-tech. The latest digital screens and graphics. We also saw George Lucas's camera that filmed Star Wars- the serial number on the camera was no. 1. Also, they had the Spiderman suit that Toby McGuire wore! Sweet! We also saw new cameras, ps3 games, music players that dance to the beat of the music and more! Everyone loved it!
RED LIGHT DISTRICT: After traveling quite a way, getting lost, and disputing with each other over directions we finally made it! Thousands of people and millions of lights. We were all silly at that point, thanks to Asahi. Also, we saw still more men in suits! It never matters what time it is. They actually have store fronts with portraits of the girls inside posted outside with flashing lights and velvet drapes you enter through like a door. Nuts! Totally prostitution type of thing. And when we were in Roppongi there were pimps walking up to our guys asking if his ladies could interest one of them tonight. Jake just continued walking, but I was shocked. The guy was a red-haired English/British guy and all of his buddies were black guys. All the metro station gates close to us were closed; apparently due to the fact that it is a sketchy area past dark. Taxi home; automatic closing car doors close right on my foot ouch!! The man appologized.
