Harajuku

Glenn and I went to a area of Tokyo called Harajuku on Sunday afternoon. Harajuku is known for being a young and trendy area of Tokyo and on Sundays, people dress up in cos-play (costumes) and stand around in this one park. It sounds kind of random, but it reminds me of street performers, but without talent really. They were neat to see and take pictures with though. Harajuku also has lots of fun shopping and we ended up doing some of that. We went in to Gap cause Glenn really wants a trench coat and they had things I couldn't even find on Gap.com. Now I'm mad I didn't buy them while I was there! Glenn bought some new brown boots and some snow boots that he will need for skiing in a couple weeks. Over the long Valentine's weekend we're headed to Nagano to go skiing and see the snow monkeys. We're really excited to go skiing again, it's been since last February.
Here is a picture of me with one of the crazy people in Harajuku:











Oh and Dad, this picture is for you, it must be Whitey's Japanese cousin, except this guy was over 3 feet long:
