Day 13 - Harajuku

Both of us were happy to simply wander through the shops and people watch. BOY are there some cool people to watch in Harajuku! The fashion there seems to be “whatever you want” although I did notice that the girls very commonly dressed like little dolls. Goth dolls, baby dolls, maids etc… They all had the “cute little girl” look in common and I have to say, Japanese girls are beautiful! Their dark eyes and flawless skin is striking to say the least and being young, they glow with health as well.

I could have taken pictures all day if I’d had my camera with me! I had forgotten it at the Ryokan that morning. Even if I’d had it with me, I don’t think it would have made a difference. Unfortunately, thought my phone’s camera is pretty decent under most circumstances, it doesn’t’ zoom well. Which means far away pictures or blurry close ups. That, or asking people to pose… I wasn’t that brave!

I have stolen a few pictures from Gideon though to give you an idea. (I hope you don’t mind Gideon, I certainly give you full credit!!) He’s a great photographer and really inspired to me to take some photography courses and get a decent camera.
