DAY 3(SHIBUYA)
March 31st, 2004Posted by Justin
Day started off cloudy and pretty miserable. To top it off, the exchange rate is hitting bottom… ARGH I pray it’ll shoot back up again!!!
Decided to go to Shibuya, 3 stops from our station.
!!!Organised Chaos!!!
thousands of people at that famous junction crossing waiting for that green light. Such a sight, we stood there watching for ages.
Had lunch at a noodle bar just round the corner from the junction. I’m now a lot more confident to order ‘collet cotdosai’ can’t spell it.
rain soon started to piss down like cats and dogs and i needed to find a jacket, but strangely, it was still fairly warm so i settled with an umbrella from HMV. All shops put out an umbrella cover dispenser outside - nice dry floors inside.
It was the launch of Utada’s new Album, not very interesting as it features all her number ones which I already have (I’m trying so hard to find her LP’s if they are out) but all through the streets you hear her tunes from ghetto blasters.
I was in HMV for ages, the atmosphere is so different. I can’t explain.
On the third or forth floor of the building is the Shibuya radio station where you can watch the DJ’s live from the sound proof window.
We soon lost each other - luckily I had my phone, ben took ages to ring it though 
The rain got ridiciously powerful! haha so we kept running into arcade joints. Drains your cash… but so much fun!!!
I need to stop!
Got back to Sendagaya around 10ish but too wet to do anything at night.
