I Heart Tokyo - Part 2

Tokyo - November 4

On Friday I went into the city with Tomoko on her way to work, and then subwayed it to the Tsukiji Fish Market. This place is crazy! Its crowded with people clamouring to get the best prices or lining up for an hour to eat sushi at 10:30 am. Hmm, methinks it`s a little early to be eating raw fish – Jayne needs coffee.

Hit Shibuya and walked through the Crossing made famous by Lost in Translation. Had a vanilla latte at Starbucks – I know, how cheesy am I, right? I don`t care - It was damn diddily-icious! I could sit there and watch the people for hours – it`s totally hypnotic.

Once the caffeine entered my nervous system, I was on my way to Harajuku to indulge in some shopping therapy. How amazing is this place? It`s essentially the hub of Tokyo youth fashion trends - both really cool and just frekking weird. Exhibit A:

And the deals are amazing if you`re willing to maneouvre through the street masses. I wish that I had two things with me – a) a lot more money, and b) a lot more time – you could easily get lost in the side streets and never get bored!
