Everyone love Harajuku Sundays. The Mecca for all thing cool and hangout for disaffected yoof. If you want a taste of all those crazy Japanese things you see on the internet this is the place to experience it. We stumbled across a genuine cat cafe and of course squeed until we were hoarse. They somehow make kitties differently in Japan and it is no wonder they are so revered here. Some have tibybstubby legs, all of their eyes are unnaturally anime large and there fur is so soft it's like petting clouds. So freaking adorable.
Takeshita street is lined with the coolest (too cool for me) fashions in Tokyo. Just don't take pictures or you will be asked to leave the store. My favourite is the store jammed so tightly with exquisite sequence over the top show girl/boy outfits you can barely move. They have dressed all manner of celebrities- think Madonna, Beyoncé, Gaga and I want it all. Mostly I want the mirror ball spiked shoulder pads. Then there is the Lolita, goth, punk, gangster and some other weird ass fashions that probably don't have an English term yet.
Last night I tried my first ramen and it has changed my life. On a side note there is a common misconception that it is expensive here but we have found that not to be true. I had a massive bowl of ramen, goyza and a beer last night for around $13AUD. You couldn't get that in Aust for less than $25. Although we also had lunch at a crazy themed cafe with shows and weirdness that was closer to $100. So you can spend it if you want to!
Today we are heading back to Hello Kitty world!!!!
