Harajuku

Harajuku Girls?  Yep.  Boys too. These weren't the best dressed or most interesting people in Harajuku, but the main street was so packed in that it was hard to stop in the middle and take a picture. The kids stream by in costume or just fashionably dressed. The street they swarm to is lined with shops selling exactly what they're wearing or might want to wear next time. The concentration of eye candy is another reason I don't have many pictures, I was having more fun looking around than looking through my camera.

Want something Earth friendly inHarajuku?  They have that too. There were a couple of stores selling second hand clothing or items that were made from easily renewable materials. Harajuku girls are apparently the perfect mixture of goth/punk, cute, and conscientious.

They even have free hugs, a temple, and an awesome little condom store. So they're scary, cute, conscientious, and smart. ;-)  The condom store had many novelties, such as posters and a condom with a ruler on it, but it also had a wall of functional condoms.  Unfortunately the store was a little too crowded for quick browsing.
