Shibuya, Hebuya, Theybuya, We all buya.

Having not done very much sightseeing earlier in the week I went to Shibuya and Harajuku with a Japanese friend who showed me around. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of Harajuku because we kind of just walked straight through it to get to Shibuya but it looks like a really cool area and I can't wait until I have a part time job so I can go shopping for lots of nice clothes (not too crazy ones though.)

Shibuya is famous for above all others, its crossing known as "Scramble Crossing." I tried to find statistics about how many people cross each time but for some reason it doesn't seem to exist. Oh no, wait I've just found an estimate of around 1000 people cross each minute.

We went and sat in the Starbucks (one of the busiest in the world- I use this phrase quite a lot now.) The view was brilliant and I did so much people watching. We were there for more than 3 hours just watching the crossing. And chatting obviously. Apparently it was quite a quite time to go and watch it though because it was a weekday and on a Saturday is when it truly "comes to life" although I'd say it was rather lively in the weekday.
