You’re Not Saving Money…Calm The @#*% Down
We discussed this briefly at this weekend’s Dot Com Pho after we heard the news of a Walmart employee getting trampled to death and shootings breaking out over the Black Friday sales a couple days ago. Seriously, we all agreed that this was pure idiocy…not only for the tragic events that occurred but the [...]
Read MoreLost in Harajuku!
During my first few days in Tokyo, I got lost…a lot. In fact, I got so lost one day that I ended up in a completely different part of the city. I don’t know how it happened but I started in Shinjuku and ended up in Harajuku, which is a few stops on the JR Yamamote line.
The good news is that I know my way around quite well now and even figured out the absurd Japanese address system that I’m almost entirely sure no one understands. No, there’s no such thing as street numbers here…or even street names most of the time. Each area of town is divided up and then each one of those sections is divided up again and given numbers…and each building block (not each building) is given another number. For example…the rental agency for my apartment is located at 7-2-6 Nishi-Shinjuku.
Anyways, Harajuku isn’t a bad place to get lost in, especially if you like clothing. All the big streetwear brands have a store in the area, including A Bathing Ape, Supreme, Neighborhood, Undercover, BBC, Stussy and plenty more. Of course, if you’re into high fashion, there’s Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, etc down the street in Aoyama.
I’m not going to say I haven’t been lost since but…I haven’t been this lost.
