And it keeps getting better
Today was so amazing. Harejuku was perfect place to explore and people watch. Luckily we found a reasonably priced souvenir shop that we could do a little shopping in. Most of the shops were high end fashion labels mixed with smaller, yet still very expensive, clothing stores. Hopefully we will make our way back to this area as we just touched the surface of this trendy part of town. Next we got a taste of the historical aspect of Japanese culture at the Tokyo Edo Museum. The huge building was designed to resemble a traditional Japanese granary as it was positioned in the air on huge posts. My favorite part about being in that part of the city was seeing real life Sumo wrestlers. All I could think about was how badly I wanted his traditional Kimono outfit and decided I will not leave Japan with out one. On our way back I made a great decision to stop at the electronic district in Tokyo. "Electric" is a perfect way to describe this part of town, in more ways than one. There's no doubt that the Japanese love their entertainment, and after experiencing a lot of it I can see why. After an ocular over load and a very manly Turkish sandwich we decided to call it a night and took the subway back to our hotel.
