| Daikanyama |
Went to Daikanyama since I stopped at Ebisu Station. But I reached there really early so all the shops were not opened yet.

 |
| still kinda lost. dk where this is |
I sort of gave up because I was lost for about 2 hours and was pretty frustrated. I wanted to go back to Shibuya but then I remembered what my uncle said about travelling haha. “旅行本来就是迷路”。于是我打起十二分精神(lol) and decided to just walk around that area. Then I randomly walked into a small little street which brought me to the place that I was looking for!
 |
| finally here omg. |
This river is famous for sakura watching but it was winter hence the bald sakura trees lol. But there were so many quirky shops that I really liked! 10/10 would visit this place again. :):):)

| Hiromi, Yoko and Takahiro |
A group of friends I spotted in Nakameguro. Can't believe how quickly they agreed to let me take photos of them.
 |
| Shiho(wife), Satoru(husband), and cute little Hobo! |
Although I couldn't speak Jap and they could only speak limited English, they were nice enough to recommend me places to go around in Nakameguro. They directed me to a cafe which they liked a lot and also told me their favourite place to shop at haha. I love how well-dressed the whole family is!

| Yui and Tsukasa |
This couple went into the same boutique that I went in and I immediately spotted the man's unique hairstyle and sense of fashion. Also, the girl was wearing such an eye-catching leopard coat that I couldn't help but to stop them and ask for a picture. This couple is also one of my favourites because they were the only ones who asked me why I was doing this. So I gladly explained to them that this is a personal project of mine and it was for my blog and he even took his phone out and searched for it! They were really friendly so we ended up having a short conversation. Even found out that we share the same love for Lush haha!
Ok, after a week travelling around Tokyo, I was actually secretly wondering what these well-dressed, fashionable young people do for a living and how they manage to afford such high living expenses. So many designer brands, edgy fashion boutiques, expensive food. No doubt, I too, am a victim of consumerism; I love shopping (window shopping only- because I can't simply afford any of the things, i blame MYR haha exchange rate so high can die) in streets like these. I hate it that even if I don't buy stuff I still feel happy (wtf).
But I guess it's time that we slow down and stop to think if all these things are truly necessary and if this happiness that we feel can actually last a lifetime.
Yeah, okay, of course it can - only if we keep shopping and shopping and buying and buying NON STOP. But this is an unstoppable cycle. Why? why do we do this to ourselves?
