japan day 4 == 1st day of hauling warning pics heavy
best way to start the day with delicious instant ramen. the bean curd is oh so sweet
we didn’t plan to enter parco, but samantha thavasa counter caught my eyes and we
me hauling happily in streets of shibuya
we saw power rangers protecting mankind from evil monsters on our way to harajuku. thanks to them everyone is safe on planet earth.
meiji-jingu is so tranquil. it's hard to believe it's located right in the middle of harajuku. those hundreds years old trees shield the shrine from the bustling streets.
colorful sake barrel
witnessed a traditional wedding. everything is prefect for this couple may they have a happy married life ahead.
lots of ema
one of my fav shot. the couple looks so much in love. feels like watching a movie.
efficient oji-san. on the way/on the way out.
next stop harajuku for some serious shopping and people watching. we were on the bridge on sunday afternoon and spotted some cosplayers. they’re like real life characters from anime. kakoii-desune.
tohoshinki duo promoting their new album. their music blazing loudly at busy harajuku. no wonder they have so many fans in japan. I miss them as a quintet.
fairytale like harajuku station
the famous takeshita-dori of harajuku. it started snowing a little as we entered. everyone was so surprised by it. spent hours here.
glimpse of takeshita-dori. mr. adventure thought the shoehorn is hilarious. got to admit, it looks kinda obscene….lol. I heart daiso. everything for 100 yen!!
the famous crepes at harajuku. 2 competitors fighting for customers. fret not, both had long lines. we chose marion crepes. I was going crazy looking at the display. my mind was going to explode from deciding which one to try. my final pick, cheesecake + strawberry ice-cream + whipped cream. so filling and satisfying. I think it would be better if everything is mixed together.
after harajuku, we hoped on the subway towards akihabara. lots of gadget stores, arcades, gashapon, pachinko, maid cafes, anime shops. too bad most of the gadget shops were closing when we get there. why do stores close so early?? lost some money in those UFO machines. I just envy those people who won. it’s impossible!!!! took a purikura. the machine is amazing. it fixes all your blemishes, scars, uneven skin tone etc. everyone looks like a star.

dinner at coco curry. a local franchise
that’s it for day 4. hope y’all have a great week ahead. btw, dallas mavericks won 2011 NBA championship. gotta root for my neighbor.

Your travel posts always make me miss Japan. T_T The Power Rangers and shoehorn were hilarious! XD When the hubs and I were playing one of the UFO Catchers game, one of the workers there actually opened the display and moved the doll so that it would be easier for us to win. Guess he could tell we were pretty bad at it...lol!
