Today was our free day, and some people went to Nikko, others went into Tokyo exploring, and we went to Harajuku Street. This Fashionable street in Tokyo sells clothes depicting Gothic, Lolita, Rockabilly outfits, and anime, movies, or manga characters, just to name a few. Young teenagers come here on weekends to dress up and shop, hang out, or eat in the many fast food shops. It really is a great place to people watch. Never a dull moment on this street! Plus they have a 3 story 100 Yen shop that is air conditioned. After Harajuku Street we went to a favorite tourist store called The Oriental Bazaar. This 3 story business has the best collection of Japanese souvenirs at a very reasonable price. We also went to a thrift shop called Chicagos, and laughed at the prices of the ripped American Levis and junky t-shirts. It's interesting to see what they consider trendy!
