To be honest, I was so excited about the big sightseeing excursion that I didn't give much consideration to how much the sight of all that blood and all those piles of freshly killed fish would make me feel. Needless to say, the combined experience-walk through the market, fresh sashimi and all-has put me off fish for awhile. Full-fledged vegetarianism beckons.After our early morning my roomie Chelsey and I were in desperate need of a midday siesta, but after a few hours rest we were back out on Takeshita street taking in the Harajuku sights, which included throngs of people as usual, but also:
some interesting paper lanterns, and:
a lineup of people waiting to get into the new Harajuku/Omotesando H&M, which we stumbled across before the store itself was even in sight.Sunday is usually a 'Holiday' (day off work) here in Tokyo, but not for me! I spent my morning/early afternoon
looking happy
to be japanese-catalogue-lady-posing
in an extensive selection of heinous fur coats. O.k., so I wouldn't identify the fur as the root source of my happiness, but I managed to be happy in spite of all the animal fluff. A significant portion of the credit is likely due to my new reading material, David Crystal's The English Language; a guided tour of the language, which sounds dull but in reality is remarkably interesting-to me.
