one corner of Shinjuku by day...We've done so much in the last two days that, as Dan said, "It's impossible to file." We got home on Saturday afternoon after walking all over one tiny fraction of this city and it was too much to compute: the people, the people, the people, the lights, places, stores, ads, trains, cars, roads, development, buildings - there is always more, and the more is always a lot... a lot more. The weather has been great, and we are super excited for the cherry blossoms to pop out... hopefully it happens some time in the next week!
... and another corner of Shinjuku by night
in Shibuya...
... after we chowed down on some MOS Burger (a chain) - we opted to try the rice burger: pork patty between two grilled rice patties... it wasn't bad! 
I love Nemo! Little clown fish in a little tank outside Don Quijote
And some more random goods in the Donki - elephant trunk boxers... ???
The Dan-o is ready: outside 7-11 with coffee in hand and bike-proof pants... bring it on Tokyo!
The blossoms are on their way: along the Meguro River close to our house. It is going to be AMAZING along there - lined with trees and lanterns, it will be beautiful by day and by night... can't wait!
Yoyogi Park: a troupe of dancing Elvises (sp?) that dance non-stop put on quite the show... a spectacle for sure!
Just outside Meiji-jingu - (we assumed that this is) a bride getting ready in her traditional dress - very beautiful
Dan fitting right in in Harajuku
We got our fortunes at Meiji-jingu, and this is was mine: Be gentle and honest above all, though you lack the genius to tower over others like the tallest bamboo in a grove. Thus your life will be truly happy and unclouded. I like - really like - the last part... but the first part? I AM the tallest bamboo in the grove over here... and the lacking the genius part? MEH!
We braved this...
... to get this. Harajuku on a Sunday is inSANE!
We've had enough of you paparazzi!
