Day 1
Upon touching down from the airplane, I was rather tired as I did not have a good sleep on the plane.. Even when I was heading to my hotel in the bus ride there, I had runny nose and slight discomfort. Nonetheless, upon reaching the hotel, we started our Journey in Shibuya. The area where we are staying. Obviously I wasnt familiar with my surroundings and as such I was rather dazed seeing so many things at one go. It wasnt that impressive to be honest at the beginning for me.. however all that changed the moment we headed to Harajuku Via Cab. While we were in Harajuku, we have managed to successfully walk most of the areas.. I begin to think like WOW this is like haji lane cept its so many lanes that it forms a Somerset like area... and the weather is cooling unlike Singapore.
All the brands you ever wanted to see, you can find it easily here in Harajuku and Ode something somehting and aoyama where you can see everything and everything. Headporter, Comme Des Garcon, Neighborhood, Visvim, Kickslab, Black Flag, RATS, W Taps, Undercover, Junya Watanabe, Hysteric Glamor, Seriously there is so much more i cant remember but these are definitely the places that breaks your heart literally. The moment you stepped into Neighborhood. you are lost of words.You just simply do not know what to do anymore.. thats how hardcore it is.. just when you think the game cannot be stepped up, there comes bathing ape.. an amazing concept store that you cant help but just admire the area... and then just when you think that is it.. there comes Hysteric glamor... the interior is comparable to louis vuiton in singapore.. and then just when you think that is it... there comes Undercover.. with the amazing lightbulbs decor.. minimalist design... and the brilliance of Jun Takahashi's interior and futurism.. fuck. and just when you think this is it... you come to think to your self... Damn thats only an area here.... all gathered in one place... made for people to go crazy..
The whole day walking alone was enough todrain me out.. it was a reccese project and we are still up for Sunday where we are suppose to work at Kickslab event.. basically to hang out there and clinch as many sales as possible.. during my trip here, i must say I finally got excited the moment i stepped foot into Harajuku area...
Then we went back to revisit Shibuya at night.. this time the scene was totally differnt.. its like WTF this is Shibuya? A night metropolis where people are all over the place.. walking and looking awesome.. I cant tell you how much fun this place is.... I guess thats all I have to say for Day 1 ... Stay tuned for Day 2.
