boy's day out

harajuku has to be one of the best parts of tokyo if you are looking for cheap second hand clothes, cheap food, cool hair or gothic lolitas.

it was chris' birthday today, he's an american exchange student with a british accent. he wanted to go to kappa sushi, so we were all nice guys and took him to harajuku (apparently that's the only place that has kappa sushi).
it's great there - quality food and every plate for 100 yen, just over a dollar.

the bargains just came rushing in as we walked the famous takeshita street and around the general area. harajuku is quite popular for its second hand clothes shops. in contrast to australia, the ones here actually sell decent clothes (and very pricey in some places), not safari suits and calico skirts. i managed to scrounge around and find a lacoste jumper for 300 yen (!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

someone got the urge to walk to shinjuku, so we did. on the way, phillip (a german goth) had to make a call to his mum from a public phone. someone had left a suspect video tape on the bench in there, and nikolai smartly picked it up. i'm going over his house to watch it in a few days, we are sort of hoping it will be that video from the ring, so we die within seven days of watching it.
