Moshi Moshi


Last night in Tokyo. Divina and I are sitting around listening to Usher. Had a low key day. Went to the coin laundry in her neighborhood, Negishi. D's roomie Sarah warned me that you can't leave your washing unattended because creepy old men will steal your underwear. Sure enough, as soon as we got there, a guy started hovering around my machine. Yuck. Had to guard my stuff the entire time.

Went for dinner in Shibuya and walked around for a couple of hours. Some of the fashion in Harajuku is bizarre. There a packs of high school girls dressed in frilly Little Bo Peep costumes, just chilling in cafes. Seriously.

Went to a huge photo booth emporium and had wallet-size photo stickers taken against bright, cartoon backgrounds. All of the girls do it here; it's called Print Club.

Heard that a group of MCs had a cypher at Shibuya station for the first time ever the other day. Apparently there were over a hundred people there, including a rapper from South Korea who was rhyming about North Korea.
