Harajuku
Harajuka Girls getting on Elevator
Me and Soco decided to go visit Harajuku, the Beverly Hills of Tokyo. The city is widely popularized by Gwen Stafani in her latest CD, "Love.Angel.Music.Baby". She sings about Harajuku Girls and their "wicked style", "rich girls" and the "hoods of Japan". If you haven't ever heard of any of her songs, then you obviously don't listen to POP or watch music videos on MTV or VH1. Soco was a little bit afraid to go visit at first because rich girls in California are snotty little bitches and they look at you in disgust if not dressed fashionably. Well... not here! The rich girls here look like normal girls wearing the craziest and latest fashions. They like it when people take pictures of them. I saw a girl who was wearing clothes which closely compares to the popular video game, "Final Fantasy". It was interesting. Soco finally experienced Japanese high tech bathrooms. She wanted to scream when she experienced the toilet seat that keeps itself warm and hygenicly clean and also the air hand driers that can dry off your hands in 3.5 seconds. Aside from the cool fashion malls and ramen hangouts, we somehow ended up in Shibuya and spent more time there.
