Sugamo (巣鴨) is a neighborhood in Toshima, it is also known as “Obachan Harajuku” or “Old people harajuku”. You can find all sorts of clothing shops for the elderly of course, but also small stores that hold tea, dried snack, pickle veggies, flowers and all sorts of stuff your grand ma’ would like ( if she’s japanese )
How come some empty billboard space with a graffiti on it is lit like this? Shoot in Aoyama.
看板には何も貼られてないのに、照明だけが当たってるって、なんか不思議。青山。
Calpis is my favorite none-alcoholic drink in Japan. It available in any combini, but the super size can can only be found in a few vending machine, if you are lucky sometime it only 100yens. Every now and then the company release a new flavor, but the best is by far the original one ( calpis water ) If you might be able to find some in your city’s china town, often go by the name ” Calpico ” but it the exact same thing.
I was walking on omotesando the other day, and I saw a cat on some kind of small pillar. There wasn’t anyone around it when I first saw it, but it only took a minute before a crowd of ladys gather around it to take some photos.
Yesterday was over 34˚c and I’ve spend the afternoon in Yoyogi park drinking ice tea and playing DS. I saw many people walking their dog, I even saw a crazy lady walking her cat in a baby stroller. But it was the first time I saw someone bring a turtle to the park and made it walk for 2-3 meter, you know just to stay heathy. I have to admit, I found the little creature pretty cute, now I want a turtle!
Almost two weeks ago took place the Tokyo Girls Award 2010 in Yoyogi Gym Stadium in Harajuku. The event was much bigger than I thought and was a lot of fun. I went there as part of the media team, since I was covering the event for apparel-web inc. and XOjapan.jp .
Many more photos after the jump…
