Steve had an Animae festival that he wanted to go to today so Marie and I decided to do the girly thing and hit the shops – after all we were in Tokyo, how could we resist?? We heard that Harajuku was the fashion area of Tokyo so that’s where we went. Steve had given step by step instructions on how to get there and his directions were spot on. We found the good shopping area in no time (I think we could just sniff it!) and before we knew it we had shopped up a storm. When do Marie and I ever come home with nothing? I bought 2 pairs of shoes, some shorts, a top, some leggings, some earrings and some nail polish. I could have kept going but I was running out of hands!! It was fun just roaming around the shops. Definitely a place for girls!!
After we finished exploring Harajuku we decided to go to Shibuya which is where the busiest intersection in the world is. You don’t know the meaning of busy until you see this place.
It is unbelievable. Crazy in fact. We just stood there watching for about 30 minutes. The lights would stop and there would be thousands of people crossing the road, when the lights went green again people would just gather at the lights ready to cross. They would just come out of nowhere. Every set of lights literally had thousands of people crossing. It was unreal. I didn’t understand where they all came from. It was cool when we actually joined them and crossed with them – we felt so insignificant, like just one dot out of hundreds! It’s definitely a place that I recommend you see. The rest of Shibuya was also cool. It was a very happening place. There were just people everywhere. We had a wonder around the area until it was time to meet Steve. He was also amazed at how busy the crossing was. Everyone would be!!
Through our travels we discovered a cool place called “Sweets Paradise” which is an all you can eat pasta, salad and sweets, sweets, SWEETS! We decided to go there for dinner. Big mistake because all though it was delicious I ate way too much. I have absolutely no will power. 
We headed home with very full bellies, tired feet and lots of shopping bags!!

That sounds like my kind of restaurant! Yummy.
Harajuku was really fun. I liked shopping and looking at all the people dressed in their cool outfits. They looked so good!
