Shibuya Crossing & Harujuku Chilling

Today was the Shopping Galore!!
Harujuku really IS the place for all the sneaker and streetwear!
Shibuya too is a shopping place for the young ones. (for everyone actually)

Below a photo of the stuff I bought the past few days. Some of them, are souvenirs/gifts. So they're some spoilers for those who'll recieve it.

For some Japan will be a paradise when it comes to clothing. A lot of styles can be found here. At first I couldn't found some 'normal' stuff. Most of the things we came across were either urban stuff, asian style stuff, western classy stuff, skating stuff (which is cool by the way), or very expensive stuff. But after being used to the shopping streets and understanding which shops sells what, I've found that it is really cool to shop in Japan =)

Concerning the price, well some things are cheap, whereas other things can be pretty expensive as well. It really depends. You got a lot of stuff around the 3000 Yen (which is pretty okay price). Cheaper SALE things are around 1500 Yen. But NEW ARRIVALS can be like 6000 Yen.
It's still an okay price actually. Shoes can be pretty darn expensive by the way.
Oh but if you got to the more classy department stores with brands stores, the price is much higher than what I've stated. So yeah, find your way, and discover what suits you best.

About the sizes, well they say that the Japanese sizes are always one smaller. So like Medium is the western Small. And Large will be the western Medium. In some cases this is true. For example Japanese brands. But normal western brands like Nike handles the normal sizing. It really varies from brands to brands. So try to fit them if you can. Most of the time this is no problem in clothing stores. Some fitting rooms requires you to take off your shoes. And sometimes the storeclerk will wait for you outside.

The Japanese language also uses the words: Medium or Emu Sizuu, Largu Sizuu or Erlu Sizuu. So if you use this few words it will be okay to make yourself understandable.

I haven't tried to return any items yet, so I don't know how that works, but I guess it's possible, since that's like a normal consumers right.

Really not much to say. Later post will be about the fastfood chains over here in Japan, Like MosBurger, Freshness Burger & Wendy's. We've went to these 3, but they're still more of these places like Lotteria and City First Convience Kitchen. I'll post it up when we've had them all =P (maybe).

As far as Japanese foods go, literally each 10 meter you walk there will be a foodplace.
(I'll write later as to the pricing and stuff and what you can eat)

So if you got questions about living in Japan, concerning the prices, shopping, eating, places to go, Japanese manners, feel free to ask them. I'll try to tell you what I've experience so far.

It's really fun over here in Japan. No I really do like it. If you guys have a chance, you really should come here to experience Japan!

Ja mate!!
