Day 5 - Harajuku

We went to Maccas for breakfast. They have most of the usual things, like hash browns and mc muffins, but they also had these pancakey sorta things with egg and bacon.
We love Macca Dees! =)



Then we got a train to Harajuku, expecting to do some serious shopping and see some crazy dressed Harjuku girls. Not many of the latter, but we definitely found some mad shopping places.


Harajuku is more up-market than the other areas we have seen. Most of the shops were brand names, and the streets were very classy and tidy.



We found Harajuku Street which had soooo many second-hand shops with vintage t-shirts and hats and shoes and awesome shirts.

We went a bit crazy with the spending. This was seriously the best street in the whole world!

Then we found Takeshita Street which was a bit more busy and more how we pictured Harajuku to be.

They sold some crazy massive shoes in all the shoe shops.



Eventually we finished our shopping and headed to our next hotel in Ueno which is on the other side of Tokyo. It's surprisingly easy to get around Japan. There are train lines going in every direction and they are really easy to use.


Our hotel room was a smoking room, so we were able to smoke in the bed haha. And smokes in Japan are only like $3 a packet and have all crazy flavours.


We decided to go for a stroll and found a crazy market.
