Harajuku

The first Sunday, Daniel took me to Harajuku to check out the sights there. We walked to Yoyogi Park for the cherry blossoms and it was really nice and pretty except it was a bit cold that day, so I can't wait to go back when the weather is nice. Harajuku is pretty known for its...diverse people I guess you could say. People dress up in a range of styles, like cosplay (I don't know, look it up) or Lolita or gothic, or they make up their own crazy thing with straps across their faces or whatever. I've read about girls spending soooo much money on their outfits just to go to Harajuku and wait for people to stare and take pictures. So I stared and took pictures.

But first, some pretty pictures!Except this...

Holy moly, check out that trash!

Even the line for the men's bathroom was really long!

Isn't that gorgeous.
Here we go...
Moving on...
A band called Loovee or something performing on the street. I liked the vibe of the area because so many people come just to perform their music for passersby. I think that makes it evident how much they actually enjoy it. And you can hear everything from jazz to rock to other foreign stuff, just by walking a few feet, which is neat.

And then there were these Elvis biker dudes in leather...They all dress up in leather and dance all over the place in leather and look at that guy's huge hair in the 2nd picture in leather. There was another group of them, and then one with girls and guys. And they're apparently there every Sunday too. I got some video of them all.

Then we went to Wendy's to sit for awhile because we were cold and tired.

After much evasion, I finally got a picture...
