Last day.


so its my last day in tokyo today. and i couldnt be happier to be flying home tomorow... well.. i could be... i would be conciderably happier if the flight didnt take 17 hours... but.. you know..


this place was really interesting about 400 meters of tramps sleeping in cardboard houses... literally there wasnt one spot along this road that didnt have a homeless person in an intracatley constructed box fortress.
so, as it was my last day, i wanted to show you guys something interesting and "classic tokyo" so, i went here, its a shop called Rope, in Shibuya, and aparantly it is one of the last "used panty shops" in tokyo... as in... literally... all of these packets are either tights, or underwear in a packet available for sale. i took a couple of other pictures but aparantly there invalid file types (fuck my phone) the prices ranged from 2000yen... wich is around 14 pounds for a pair of tights with a respectable looking woman on the front. to 6000 yen wich is around 40ish pounds for a pair of underwear with a picture of a young girl rubbing herself on the front... lovely... while i was in the shop... wich wasnt for very long as it was the smallest most awkward place ever, i watched a man get tolled off by the shop owner for smelling the underwear before he purchaced it..... *sigh* oh japan. you crazy crazy place.
neck face.
so i went to the park nr Harijuku. it was really cool.




i also got to experience the infamous... people pushing you onto the trains with sticks at rush hour.... for those of you who havnt seen this.. google it... when the trains are really busy at rush hour, there are people employed to cram people onto the trains so that more people can fit, luckily i was sitting down, so it didnt really effect me, but it didnt look too plesant for the people standing...

im glad i managed to keep my blog up everyday, iv had good acces to computers, and im glad you have all been interested and checking it out. this will be my last post... although i may do a cheeky one tomorow when i get home.. i havnt decided yet.. depends how interesting the flight is.... i might also update with the photos i get when i have developed them, if anyone would be interested in seeing? if not, i wont. but let me know if you would be interested.

again, a big thankyou to all of you who have been checking the blog, and for all of those who have spoken to me while iv been out here and been genuinley interested in what im doing!
