Shibuya Sights

I've been a very bad blogger. Posts have been sporadic, at best. Effort; negligible. Enthusiasm; lacking. It's curious that the place where I had the most chaotic schedule and least amount of spare time (hk) was the one where I posted most frequently AND predictably (almost every day). My days in Tokyo are long and exhausting; it's that kind of lethargic exhaustion you get from spending hours doing practically nothing. So, every chance I get (weekends) I take the opportunity to stretch my legs. Places to be and people to see! For example, this tree, one of the thousands that have recently sprung up all over this enthusiastically festive city;the legendary Shibuya shopping mecca Shibuya 109,Shibuya crossing (as seen from the 2nd floor of THE Shibuya Starbucks),cute shops (ahem, 3-floor Disney store) in which to strike imitation japanese-schoolgirl poses/behave like a walking tourist cliche,and miscellaneous smile-inducing sights...Not to mention, as I explored last weekend, 'traditional' and 'cultural' sights aplenty (kabuki theatre, temples, anyone?):
