These photos were taken in a "boyfriends" Halloween themed photobooth in shima-kitazawa (where we went last night). When we got off the train, I declared shima-kitazawa the Katoomba of Tokyo, because it is an artsy, grungey part of Tokyo with lots of graffitti, bars, buskers and drunk people. But really, it's kinda a lot cooler (soz Katoomba, ily really) and is crammed with probably almost hundreds of tiny, amazingly styled vintage stores and seedy little bars. We went to a bar called 440 to watch Hana and some other artists play a "live" (what they call gigs in japan) which was really good. We also had our first McDonald's experience in japan; we expected everything on the menu to be more or less the same as in Australia, but its actually really different and we got these chocolate triangle pies, and saved the wrapper, so when we are back we can take it to Australian McDonald's and ask them "why the hell don't you have this on the menu??!". Today we are off to harujuku to look at some crazy young kids who dress up in cosplay on Sundays and stand on harajuku bridge so that should be interesting. And then Disneyland tomorrow!! + hopefully lucis first rollercoaster experience! Hope you're all peachy keen in aus. Love from annika :)
Oh man we miss you guys so much. Don't get lazy with these posts, I plan to read all of them.
