Sunday


Sunday

I road Keir's bike out to Shibuya. I walked up the ..... The big fashion bulivard of Tokyo with all its Prada, lui vason ect... There were a couple of building that i wanted to see one w as the Prada store by H and D ( there are some photos on fliker). The other was the Dior store ( i d didn't put a photo  up because i couldn't get a good one). The H and D one is lovely they are such a talented architecture firm. The next was to see my second Tando Ando building the ......, un-fortunetly i although the lay out was very clever - the floor constantly spiraled upwards so you could walk all the levels of the building without going up any stairs and it s difficult to say what floor you were on as one would flow into the other. it was also clever as there were any different exits to the street and because of the slope of the sight the entrances would be on different floors on the shopping center  unfortunately apart from the layout the finished product was disappointing. i them walk d across to Harajuku and saw some amazingly dressed girls and guys, in very interesting costumes and found a grovie second hand store. I wish i was a size tiny like the Japanese women so i could wear some of the wonderful fashion they have over hear! But every time  I go into a cloths store the shop assistant looks and me and we both know that trying anything on would be  futile. I then walked to Yoyogi park and walked around the Yoyogi national gymnasium, a beautiful building designed by Kenzo Tungi. It is just lovely. I then road back to Azubujuban to meet Keir and his friends for a movey night but on my way there i got lost. It was getting dark and the rain was making a think mist, luckily  for me my lack of direction landed me in the middle of a cemetery.  Which is just the place to be when the mist is thick as the atmosphere was just perfect for a walk in the cemetery.  After my detour I met Keir and his friends and we sat around watching movies for the rest of  the evening. We all took it in turns to cook something in his friends oven as ovens are not common in rented flats and had a lovely time.
