Yokohome Motomachi Shopping Street

Caught a go taxi down to motomachi shopping street, which runs along at the very bottom of Yokohama chinatown. It's a quaint street with a strange mix of modern and European architecture, and the shops were really varied with unique pieces and designer stuff. A lot more upmarket I guess than other shopping areas.

Just wandered about, I got myself a small umbrella, and we had the French fries at the McDonald's. Everyone says they are super nostalgic because they are still cooked in beef fat like in the 90s/00s. Michael and I both concurred they barely taste any different to fries today, but they SMELL like the 90s/00s Macca's, which is why we think people get that vibe.

We had to take a snap of this amazing leather bag in a leather shop. Too bad it was $500. Sorry Michael. Not today.

On another really funny note, Michael had an amazing wartime US bomber jacket made as his Xmas/bday present last year, and it is like, the most on trend Jacket in Tokyo... For women!

We have seen 3 guys wearing similar styles to his jacket... And about 30 women. Especially on the younger/trendy women. It must be this season's rage here. Michaels camera is massive so he can't even take inconspicuous snaps haha! But we are just going to keep an eye on it and giggle about it.Baca lagi
