Howdy everyone - it's 11 a.m. on Wednesday here, just some stories on the past few days.
Was in a t-shirt shop yesterday, all kinds of "graphic designer" shirts as they say, and saw one by our own Jeremy Pruitt for sale. Would have picked it up but they did not have my size.
Spent most of yesterday shopping in Harajuku (no pics of crazy girls, they only do that on Sundays) and it was insane. Never been somewhere with that amount of awesome clothing stores street after street after street. Bought two new "purses" as my friend likes to say.
Tons and tons of cuties in that area, been trying to sneak photos when walking but honestly I don't think they'd even care. Everyone moves so slow here! No reaction time, no quick movements, nothing!Ate lunch yesterday at the Bathing Ape cafe, good lord am I getting addicted to Japanese beef curry. Couldn't find the Ape store, it stays very hidden, no sign or anything.
There's so much cool office stuff here, notebooks, pens, business card holders, etc. stuff I can never seem to find in the US.
Went to Shibuya last night, found a bar and spent 5 hours drinking whiskey, everything there was only 300 yen only. Got to watch Stand By Me in the bar with subtitles. Went to the big intersection in Shibuya known as the busiest in the world, it was indeed pretty wild, all the bright lights around shining down like a stadium.
Not sure what's in store today - we've been getting up at noon everyday, but i see the sun out today for the first time. Not too hot here, just humid and not too unlike Chicago right now.
Going to get out of Tokyo tomorrow, I need to see something other than buildings and shopping and concrete. Going to go see some hot springs, nature, wild monkeys, OR go climb Mt. Fuji, which is high on my list.
Hope everyone is doing well!
