shibuya and harajuku
Today Jess and I met up with a friend of hers that is living here teaching English and took a BLITZKRIEG TOUR of Shibuya and Harajuku. We ate Okonomiyaki, which is like egg + cabbage + ginger + batter + (salmon or beef or curry stuff or whatever) = pancakes. It’s probably the NUMBER ONE REASON to live in Japan.
The most incredible thing about this town, for me at least, is that EVERY DAMN TIME I get off the train and walk out onto the street, I’m walking into some ENORMOUS GAPING MAW of lights and ads and windows and well dressed people that puts Times Square to shame. It’s not like New York City here. It’s like 10 or 20 New York Cities.

Perhaps I should try making some. And perhaps I should have stuck Scanner Darkly in your bags. The more trapped you’re feeling, the better a watch it is.
When I get out of work, the school children will be wandering through ginza.
