Had plans to meet Shoko at Asakusa @ 3pm. Woke up kind of early for a change so I decided to go to Shibuya and Harajuku since I hadn't been there yet this time. Big mistake because it was a Sunday.
Obligatory 109 shots.
Obligatory Hachiko Statue shot.
Went to Arktz (skate/bike shop) and had them dig up a copy of Underground Broadcasting for me. Also bought a fitted hat I could have probably bought in Hawaii for less, but at the time I felt like I needed it.
Walked over to Harajuku.
Crazy looking Audi building.
Teddy's Bigger Burger!
Condomania!
Obligatory Takeshita Dori shot.
Some (possibly African) guy tried to get me to check out his streetwear store while I was walking through Takeshita Dori. Even if I was that "urban" no way I could try anything on in this heat covered in sweat.
There were no cosplayers at the bridge by Yoyogi Park, except for this guy. I was disappoint, again.
I still haven't gone to this shrine. Maybe next time when I'm not melting.
At least the rockabilly people were there.
And the "And 1" guys.
Maybe these were cosplayers?
Crossed over the bridge near NHK & checked out the swap meet.
Cool Disney Store!
Made the mistake of catching the Yamanote-sen back from Shibuya to Ueno before transferring to the subway so I could get to Asakusa and so I was late. Sorry.
Drive faster!
Tokyo Sky Tree: only half done. Better come back when it's done. The view from the top will probably be amazing (or sickening) if Tokyo Tower was any indication of things to come.
Anyway, off to Asakusa! Too many people (especially tourists!)!
After Asakusa, we went to Akihabara. It was super crowded and most stores had no photo policies, so I didn't end up taking too many pictures. Plus the maids were good at hiding when I tried to take pics from far away.
The otaku were swarming in the Don Quixote AKB48 store but it wasn't as bad as the one in Machida.
Went to Saizeriya and had a bite to eat.
Was considering meeting Kurara and her friends to see the fireworks in Yokohama, but after making the bad decision to check out some of the most crowded spots in Tokyo (Shibuya, Harajuku, Asakua and Akihabara) in one day, I was dead tired (and a little bit irritated) so I retreated to the hotel for a shower and some rest.
Around 9pm I decided to go looking for someplace to go eat near the hotel.
Nakamachi Dori: those girls in the shiny dresses should have been a sign as to what kind of establishments I would find if I kept walking.
As I kept walking, some guy came up and started talking to me but I don't think he was trying to be helpful. Seemed all the intersections had a bunch of guys standing around so I turned the corner and went back to the main street as calmly and as quickly as I could.
Went into a store near the station that I saw a few days earlier and got a curry rice soba set for 500 yen. So good!
