wishes @ toshogu shrine in ueno.

it has now become my duty to taste potato chips all over the world. japanese chips are delicious EXCEPT the garlic ones, yuck!

i didn't get the chance to go to jimbocho to the second-hand bookshops, but i did stack up on books and book covers and magazines and stationary at some really great bookstores like maruzen, another one close to takanadobaba station, book off, and the bookstore on the last floor of yodobashi in akihabara. this is a shot of a cozy little bookstore in shimokitazawa.

jet set: best record store in tokyo, hands down! it's right at the entrance of shimokitazawa. lots of dj-able material. we stocked up on stuff from martin dupont to photek. you can find both rare and mainstream indie and electronic stuff there. highly recommended! oh, and if you have a cat, you can take him/her to the cat café downstairs -- too cute!

my camera isn't good for night shots, but even in daylight, tokyo signs are pretty flashy.
