Placement test day and a nip into Harajuku

I've not done too much because of my placement text (which was awful by the way) but here is a picture of a fancy Keio University lecture theatre;


Incase you're at all interested, decided to take a photographic tour of my walk to University. This is only the final part of my commute, from Tamachi station to the University.

Off the train and out of the station (hopefully this will give you some more idea of just how busy rush hour Tokyo is! Not for the claustrophobic. And oh, get used to having your face pressed into a lot of smelly armpits on the jam-packed train..)


Across the square;

And over the bridge;

View from the bridge;

Through a side street;

Past a Macudonarudo's!

Onto the main street, with Tokyo Tower in the distance;

Take a left at the second crossing;

Cross the road and go straight down the street, until turning right into the main gate entrance to the University;

Through the gate and into campus!


Spent a few hours in Harajuku this afternoon, definitely going back someday soon for a proper day out around. It's definitely my Tokyo! Felt more at home here anyway so I can't wait to go back and explore!


Here are a few pics from my quick visit to Harajuku;





And finally, a well deserved 'ko-hi furapuchino' after a hard day of testing! (And by the way, that's a medium size!!!! :O)

  1. Can't believe how clean everything looks. The streets look as if they are brand new.

    Will you be just visiting Harajuku or are you going to partake of the piercings or tatoos?

    Lecture theatre looks very swish but how comfy are the seats for a snooze?

    THanks for updating

  5. Can't get over all the people in identical clothes coming out of that station. Do they sell non-white shirts over there?

    Think you'd be able to pick a piercing or if it would just be a case of "that one!" Like a lucky dip or something..... the concept of doing that seems quite fun in a strange way actually...

    Harajuku looks quite fun, dare say I'll have to take a good look round there when i visit :) Can I play the see how many odd looks I can get game with the white shirt army too? :D

    So glad your having a good time. Even better now with the option of a microstarbucks!!! (and body shop for your coconut potions) :D How'd it compare to the rest of the world then? :)
