Photos back out in Tokyo

Visiting Ikebukoro we saw this building. I thought it was pretty cool.

It looks like subway cars stacked up into the sky. And so I took a picture.

I think that's what I've amounted so many images on the trip. Trigger happy.

Take a look at one small shop in Akihabara.

I bought a watch near hear. There are small corridors with tons of cool stuff.

From super famicom to phones we have here (that are selling for 5 bucks).

It's all there. I even saw a Pirates of the Caribbean dvd player.

Also in Akihabara are about a million of these vending machines.

This is a store that has about 100 of them, lined up and stacked up.

You can get gundams, dragon ball stuff, everything surpassing what we

ever had in our vending machines as kids. Oh. there was also a change 

machine by the door. Any parent in Canada with a kid would ensure

to stay way clear of this place. It's nutty!

For all those Astro Boy fans out there!

We went back to Yoyogi park to see the goths, the bands and the greasers.

We found some other fun friends when we were there.

This band was the spikeys and they were just strange.

Love the outfits!!

Check the Spikys setup! It's pretty pimp!

There were people practicing dance moves, choreographed singing routines, a juggler

And this guy too.

Another band with people walking by. I just love the concept!

This photo marks another change in our trip.

We were out in Ochidoricho. It's near the end of a private subway line called

the Tokyo Ikegami line. This means we were about half hour outside of the city.

We got stuck one night 3 stops away from our ryokan and had to walk.

Japan streets are so quiet at night outside of the city. It was almost a peaceful walk.

Here's a shot of our lodgings. Again. 30 bucks per person a night.

We had a closet and tv in this one too. Not too shabby.

Exploring Harajuku we came across the Audi Forum Tokyo.. basically the sales floor

for Audi in Tokyo. Many cars were present including the slick and crazy R8.

Also in Harajuku they have this 3 level t-shirt shop called UT.

Notice the canisters on the wall, those are all the different types

of t-shirts they have. They line the walls on each floor with different sizes.

How it works is there's one of every t-shirt on the floor and there is a tag

that associates to an electronic tag below each of the canisters. Find the T you like

find the canister, pick it up and purchase! done!
