I must be crazy to go outdoor on a weekend!! I hope I'm gonna survive from being smashed by people on the streets or on the train today.
??

Today started from Kichijyoji (吉祥寺).

??

Chapeau Rouge for lunch-- famous on tour books.

Cream soup

The three shrimps with tartar sauce covered my salad. Served with rice or bread.

Dessert and hot tea.

The whole course came with all the above, and it cost 1,575 yen. Everything was delicious. I really wanted to have the shrimp heads, but because I went alone, I felt shy to be chewing the heads at the table.

Croquette(コロッケ) shop-- famous for its beef croquettes. Too bad I was way too full because of the lunch.

??

I took a walk all around the place, found myself not interested in doing any shopping, so I took train back to Shibuya. Then, I walked from Shibuya station to Harajuku(原宿) station, just to find the famous street called Takashitedoori (竹下通り). Yeah, walk!!

??

Does it look far to you? I took Meijidoori(明治通り) to get there. But I then found out I should have taken Omotesando (表参道), which is very famous for all the international brand shops. But you know me, I don't like shopping. So, Meijidoori was a good walk for me, too. And actually, there were a lot of stores along the way as well.

??

And guess how long it took me-- probably about 25 minutes. Not bad at all!! If I can walk and save all the transportation fee I've spent, I would rather walk to death!

?

Getting close to Harajuku station!! If you enlarge the image, you would notice that there's actually "people mountain people sea" (as a Chinese-English proverb goes).

Harajuku station. I didn't know it looks so nice!

The two-eyed landmark at Takeshita street.

And again, people mountain people sea.

A 365-birthdays shop. Selling little things with one date on each of them.

The famous 100 yen shop. It has 4 floors!! All Japanese style merchandise.

One of the four things I bought for myself-- Hakone(箱根) hot spring powder. And it says it's peach scented. I hope I will be able to go there in person, but if not, I would still be happy with the powder for my bath tonight.

Angle Heart Crepe Shop. Everything I'm eating today, I followed what the tour book told me to.

I was having mine at the end of this lane. Head straight and take a left, you will be on Takeshita street shopping again.

Processing....

??

Finished product!! For 400 yen.

??

Chocolate icecream with whipped cream. Different from Taiwanese crepes is that theirs are soft ones instead of crunchy ones, plus, their flavors are mostly sweets instead of salty ones, like bacon and cheese or ham and salad.

??

Before I left this place, I went for a walk on Omotesan street. And I found this-- a public toilet!!

Gotta use it!! And please wave your hand for 25 seconds of water-flowing sound. Just in case you feel shy hearing/let people hear, you know, THE SOUND.
