It has been a while since I updated this page. The reason is because I cannot update through my phone anymore. It is something that can be fixed, but I have not actually done it. I may not get around to it because I only have a week left in Japan.
I finally made it to the Imperial Gardens. I arrived with a friend from the hostel and we met a woman named Naoko. She is a friend of a friend who offered to show me around. It is great having a native speaker around and even better when they are really friendly.
This is a can of Dr. Pepper. Yes, she has a bottle of Dr. Pepper between her breasts.
I’m not entirely sure of the details, but a man went on a stabbing spree in the Akihabara district in Tokyo today. Today was a sunny Sunday so there were many, many people on the street. He apparently drove a car down the street where people were walking and ran a few people over before jumping out. Once out of his car, he started slashing indiscriminately with a knife. So far 7 are dead with 18 people total stabbed.
Here’s a link to the BBC article.
There’s a link on Boing Boing to some awesome fashion from the Harajuku district in Tokyo. These people officially gather every weekend, but it’s not uncommon to see toned down versions on the streets pretty much every day. From the few times I’ve seen these people, I’ve gathered that they really enjoy cameras. I guess if I spent as much time and money on a costume as they do I’d probably want to show off too.
Here’s a link to the gallery.
I'm not a robot.
