Shibuya

Today Tokyo is pretty wet. It`s rainy season in Japan at the moment, so it`s just a weekend with nothing special going on.

As I said earlier I`ve been in Japan now for close to three years. I`ve collected lots of great memories and had some fun and funny moments and just wanted to share them.

Yesterday I went to Shibuya. Shibuya is a part of Tokyo for teenagers, twenty-somethings and all those young at heart. Full of fashionable shops; Louis Vuitton and Gucci bag carrying University students; a wide array of "Love Hotels" (hotels used by horny young couples for sex); lots of off-duty office ladies and the young and trendy shopaholic housewives.

I bought a new Yukata at Uniqlo!!! It`s a kind of summer Kimono made of cotton and worn in the summer time on special occasions. It`s a gorgeous lemon colour and the Obi (wide cotton belt) is a deep red. I can`t wait to wear it!!! The school I work for has an Obon celebration in a few weeks so I`ll wear it then!!! Can`t wait.
