Takeshita Street

Okay, really no where to go with this one. Denise has basically been dragging us from restroom to restroom anyway, so we figured, let’s just take her to the source so she can leave it where it belongs…. Okay, that was bad on only somewhat true. I did download the “Flush” app to find public bathrooms but that may have been as much for me as Denise 😳.

This is actually yet another shopping district. I think most of Tokyo is a shopping district now that I think about it. But this one was pretty cool with a bunch of exotic stuff. We went by a string of stores where you could pay to sit and pet furry micro pigs, have tea with some Capybara’s, or even play with Otters - No pictures allowed of the Otters or Capybara’s 😭. I’m telling you, the Otter, that may be my next pet. Of course, according to Denise, I’ll have to pick it up after I go through the pearly gates!

On top of the stores we also ran into some pretty neat cars. The green one in the pic below is the one that Brandon calmly told his mother he wanted to buy several months ago. He figured he’d use his Publix money, well until Denise showed him that for this $150K car (which costs more than my first house!), he’d have to work at Publix for the next 100+ years at his current pace if he could get someone to give him a simple interest loan at 0% (really simple!). Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed, and we all decided keeping the Edge was a better call.

The last picture is from the Onitsuka Tiger store. It’s a Japanese shoe brand that is apparently gaining in popularity. Darren has several pairs and it happens to be something a certain someone we know wants…. Not sure what happened after this picture, other than I was found drinking at a bar, which should surprise no one.Read more
