Tokyo at Random

Everybody needs a trip to King Kong's "Zen Mall"

As a Westerner in Japan one is constantly faced with what appear to be social contradictions. Actually they make as much sense in Japan as most contradictions in the US make sense to us here – usually they get more confusing the more we analyze them.

Here are some random shots of Tokyo mostly in the Harajuku District. Anybody who follows Gwen Stefani is probably more familiar with the Harajuku subculture than I am. We just blundered into Takeshita-dori on the way to the wedding. You can start checking out the phenomenon at Japanese Lifestyle

True Japanese sweets might not be much to western taste but luckily everybody loves French.

And just to finish off a hard day of walking one can take a quick foot massage on the acupressure track in the park.

More as I get it ready.
