Harajuko and the lights of Akihabara

Day 2 in Tokyo.

We were requested to explore two areas, Harajuko and Akihabara.

We arrived early in the morning to Haraujo and our challenges were: find the Harajuko girls (lolitas, pinups, gotics, etc.) and Justin had to busker to buy food. Apparently every Sunday people gather around Harajuko and specially at Takashita st. to hang out.. You will be able to see a bunch of people with really crazy and amazing outfits.



One of the challenges was for Justin and he had to busker and make enough money to buy lunch. He did it well and people really enjoyed but we found that people who play at the streets usually don't ask for money, but Justin managed to get some and he succeed buying lunch!




After we took a stroll to Akihabar, the light district, very very big lights. We had to find a maid cafe so for you guys who might be wondering what is it, basically it's a cafe where the waitress are dress up like maid and they serve you like Japanese maid. It was such a cool experience and we had a really good time trying to find out how worked because was no way to understand a word and they were unable to speak any English. Unfortunately we can't show pictures of that place, but on the other hand Justin had a small concert too.




Stay tuned!

PS: On the other hand, would you like to pet this beautiful cat?
