I spent a day off in Harajuku. Its a famous shopping district that has two distinct personalities. Takeshita Dori where the young folks shop and Omotesando where older/richer folks shop. I don't shop so neither area holds much attraction for me. I had no particular plans, just enjoying a do nothing day. A lot of people had asked me to do a video about Harajuku. Now I realize that what most people probably wanted was to see the teenagers who dress up in anime and manga character outfits. Well... I didn't show that. Sorry. I feel there are far more than enough videos of that on YouTube already. Every schmuck with a camera who goes to Harajuku has posted that video so if you'd like to see that I'm sure there are plenty of videos on that elsewhere.

Enjoy! (I hope)

Also... I've decided to start adding what music I'm using just in case anyone cares.

Japan: Life in Tokyo
Jose Feliciano: Feliz Navidad
Django Reinhardt: Minor Swing
The Chieftans: The Dark Island
Junior Kimbrough: Tomorrow Night
Lionel Hampton and Stan Getz: Cherokee
