When i think Harajuku i think unique awesome style i love the way girls from ther dress its cool and interesting.

I think of it as a tourist attraction, as there are generally more tourists there than cosplayers and people dressing up. I think of Harajuku street, ABC mart, the McDonald's cafe, and the nearby Shakey's pizza place.

I also think of middle-aged Japanese rockabillies drinking mugi cha (barley tea) from Jack Daniels bottles as they dance shirtless to American 50's rock music, only taking breaks to comb their duck-tail styled hair.

And I think (when I go there) that I would have better spent my time in some other place, like at the beach, in the mountains, or in the old shita-machi parts of the city where the old Japan still exists.

Loopwheeler, Design festa and Meiji Jingu for me.

I got my first Loopwheeler tee shirt about 10 years ago and found out the were in Harajuku, I always promised myself to visit if I ever went to Japan. I went there last year and bought a one off piece.

Design festa is always fun to visit and it is free.

Meiji Jingu is a really nice break from the madness outside.

I think of a place in Tokyo that I actually know very little about.
The next thing I think of is a fashion style that I definitely know next to nothing about.
And as for Gwen Stefani, I didn't even know there was a conection until right now.

:confused:

I've got to get out more . . . .

I think of a place in Japan that I can likely go and buy something electronic.
