what do you see?

Went to Harajuku on Sunday - the place you might have seen on TV where all the teenagers dress up crazy and hang around. Very interesting place. The area itself is much more hilly and low rise than some other parts of Tokyo, with some old apartment buildings (from the 20s) covered in ivy. The traditional thing to do is stand around and eat crepes, so of course we did (ever had a crepe with a big chunk of caramel cheescake in it, as well as icecream and cream?!) after we'd been to a convenient conveyor belt sushi shop.

"Typhoon number 6" (official name) is currently just off the coast of Japan, well to the southwest of us, but already causing a lot of flooding etc. ...it's scheduled to hit our region sometime tonight and dump about 150-200mm of rain! It should be gone by tomorrow though. So, I'll let you know how we get on...
