In day 12 and 13, we spended our time exploring Shibuya. Shibuya is a very interesting place when you walk around a bit. It seems to big a big bargain everywhere in Japan right now. Shibuya 109 building have a 5 days bargain with like 50% on most of the stuff BUT it is EXPENSIVE there. Like hell. Even though it's bargain, it cost like a normal pair of jeans at another store etc. 7000 - 8000 with 50% off for one pair of jeans is alot. So like 14000 - 15000 yen without bargain. Don't go there unless it's necessary or when you want to spend alot of money... xD When you walked in there, you can hear screaming everywhere from the workers. LOTS of screaming with their loudspeaker and stuff and loud music. It's like having a disco and shopping at the same time. It's the same in 109-2 building in the upper floors for men.
So I have been buying alot of CDs these days. I've never bought one before.. xD So.. I bought another one of Rainie's album. One left to go.. Got 3 of 4. Also another artist that I wanted to try since it was if you bought 2 cds, you get 25% off on both.
When we were going out of HVM, we got some flyers saying AZU was going to have a mini live at HVM because of the new single. I listened to it and we decided to go. It were nice and I bought her single then got an autograph~
Off to Tsutaya and Starbucks to get some snacks and a nice view over the scramble crossing. We took alot of photos and filmed the crossing. I will upload it after this.
More walking around Shibuya. An indie band named Jack Rose performed there. There were really awesome. I bought all of their cds (3), get the signed and a plectrum. Will upload the videos later....
First, we planned to stay in Shibuya all night since you can't get back if you miss the last train (stops going around 12am - 1am) but it were raining so we skipped it.
Shibuya day 2:
Today we decided to visit one of the most popular live houses, O-nest. We came there a little late so we only saw 3 bands performing. Quite expensive for the entrance ticket, 3000yen and then you get a drink ticket which we didn't use. Very smoky since you can smoke inside... saw one interesting band which was playing some kind of jazz music I think. First one was okey but the last one was horrible...... Nightlife in Shibuya, so many people but partying is alike everywhere. Drinking, drinking, going crazy and yeah....
Day 14: Harajuku bridge and Yoyogi park
Today, we headed for Yoyogi park and Harajuku. It rained last week but this week it was a beautiful weather~ Yoyogi park is freaking awesome huge and beautiful as hell! Got a big temple there too. A divine tree which you can write you wishes and hang around it. I did! :'D
Harajuku bridge is very nice to sit at. Nice breeze. It's a big wide bridge which you can sit almost everywhere. Not so many street fashion people there today though but a few. Uh, yeah.. spended quite alot of money today.. Tired.. Write more tomorrow..
This is the last night at K's House Tokyo. We booked rooms at Sakura Hostels for the last days. Checking out here tomorrow T__T
Lots of photos: http://tsukiya.bilddagboken.se/

Day 11: Lost.. again....
Very, very slow day today. Sparky woke up at 5pm. I were just on the computer the whole morning until I went up to the room again deciding to go out. Ate some yummy soba noodles, found a pet shop with alot of cute puppies, bought some useful stuff and went to the supermarket.
After being there, I kind of got lost again. I were drown in my thoughts and didn' really think so I just walked. I realized that I had no clue of were I were when I got into my senses again. So I walked around for quite a long time before I could find my way back again.. My sense of location doesn't really work when it's dark outside....
... and I think I know how to make crepes after watching them make at the stands! :'D

Day 10: Tsukiji Fish Market, Shinjuku, Akibahara
So we woke up quite early to go to the fish market today. There were really ehm... chaotic there. Lots of trucks, different vehicles, people and fishes everywhere. You really have to watch your steps if you want to lose one leg or two nor get killed xD You can smell the fishes from far away, just follow the smell! The market is not far from Tsukijishijo station though. Just turn left when you exit from the station. I was however more disgust of all smoke from the people smoking in the market than the fish smell. We wandered in the fish market for a while and tried to not get killed. I wanted to try the fresh sushi there but I just ate breakfast so I skipped it. Sparky didn't feel so well due to the fish smell. Haha.
After fish market, we took the train to Shinjuku again. We decided to give it another chance since we didn't find what we were looking for last time but now we have given up on it xD We saw 3 kittens in a glass cage. So cute xP Anyhow, after given up on Shinjuku, we went to Akibahara, again... xD Still the best place so far.
Karamelldansen the album!
Nothing planned tomorrow. The hostel is going to have an event here and on friday we have decided to go to Shibuya and stay there 'partying'. Going to see the nightlife there :'D
