Harajuku

Today we went to Harajuku. Poor Robin had to walk in and out of a lot of stores
(an accountable number of underwearstores), but he ended up on a bench, one
of the few that actually exists in Tokyo.
After Takeshita Dori Street we went to the shoppingcentre Laforet because Nhina
wanted to buy a bag from Alice and the Pirates, a wallet from Swimmer etc.
The bags ended up so big and many that Robin had to act as a carrier. But even
Robin found a pair of shoes he wanted. A black pair of Chukka Shibuya Limited Vans
which we both like very much.



Robin found a bench, took some pictures and devoted himself to his favorite
employment, people spotting, while Nhina queued for the Angel Heart Crêpes.
We ended up with two Christmas Special Crêpes with cream, strawberries,
chocolate sauce and cheesecake. The sugar overload barrometer was on red but
it was still enjoyable.

At 4pm we met up with Robins friend Malin who lives in Ikebukuro. She is in
Tokyo to study japanese. Together with two of her friends we went to Cyber
in Ikebukuro were 8 bands were playing that evening. As a quick meal we ate
at McDonalds. Which were exactly the same here as in Sweden, accept that
they have ebi burger (shrimp). The bands were good, with a lot of variation.
Robin became very fond of the cute band MiU. Going to a japanese gig was a
big different than we are used to. But it was much more enjoyable, after you
get over the shock. All the people are very quiet and do not be surprised it they
sit down while the band plays. Something else that was also very enjoyable was
the Melon soda ^^
