Moving On

I ride the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) from Tokyo to Kagoshima, tomorrow. Actually, it is four trains. The distance is half the length of Japan!

I revisited Ginza, Shinjuku, and Shibuya today. One word of advice: if you are a compulsive clothes shopper, do not go to Tokyo! You will quickly become broke, for two reasons:

1. There is so much choice. Anything you want to get, you can find a boutique or department store selling it.
2. It is all expensive. Whenever I flipped over the tag on a nice looking shirt (even sweatshirt), the price was around $400!

I have only bought one t-shirt. Partly because I don’t want to spend much money, and also because I don’t want to carry more stuff for another two weeks.

Also, most of the stuff is international brands, so you can buy it all at home. Tokyo just groups it all together into a few shopping districts, so it is very easy to troll.
