Yesterday was spent on our feet. Harajuku is a shopping district north of Shibuya that is separated by Omotesando. The stores are smaller and the clientele is a little older, closer to our age. It was a bit tiresome but we found some hidden gems like the Winged Wheel, a tiny little paper store in a very secluded back alley. We had lunch nearby. Sarah had the sashimi and I opted for the fried pork. By 6 o'clock neither of us could take anymore shopping so we headed back to the hotel to meet up with our new friends, Baku and Ai. After a rest we met up a couple of New Balance folks for a drink at the hotel bar on the 40th floor. Burt Bacharach playing next to us was a bit loud but my Manhattan hit the spot and the view was spectacular. So spectacular, in fact, that it was included on our bill. ¥1200 per person.

Jeff/Sarah--Thanks for the continual posting of pickys! It's definitely allowed me to have a "mental vacation" from school and the drudgery of the Midwest winter! Enjoy the rest of your stay.
