Today I mooched off of a friend's field trip and got to see pretty much all of the famous Tokyo museums in the part of Tokyo called Ueno. The coolest thing I saw was probably this guy. He's an Egyptian mummy of course.
After viewing at least four different museums, we headed to Harajuku, the part of Tokyo known for crazy-clothes wearing people.
Then we walked to Shibuya to shop and walk around. I found a Japanese copy of Vice at American Apparel. We went to Tower Records--which I wasn't expecting much from, but found such artists as Crystal Castles, the Death Set, and Yelle (which I purchased). The top floor book store was even more impressive--you can find things here that I mail-ordered in America. Here, also, in Shibuya I saw this with mine own eyes: the Bape Store
We ate dinner at an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet and I got full for the first time this week. This was basically the longest day ever as we were downtown for nearly 14 hours. God.
