I teach an English conversation class (Eikaiwa, or 英会話) once a week in Chuo-ku. It's the highest hourly wage I've ever gotten- 4000 yen (about $40)! Granted, it's only one hour a week, and I probably have an hour round-trip commute, but that's still bank.
Class starts at 6, and there was an unusually pretty sunset going on.

Triton is a huge complex, made of three skyscrapers (Towers X, Y, and Z) clustered around a massive plaza. I work on the 24th floor of Tower X, at a company called Autodesk.
