First Trip to Tokyo and the Shibuya Crossing

We took our first trip to Tokyo yesterday. It takes a little over an hour by train from Yokosuka. It was definitely an adventure - I think everyone had sensory overload by the end of the day. One of the more amazing sights on the trip was the Shibuya (Sha Boo Ya) Crossing - it is feels kind of like the beginning of a dodgeball game where everyone runs to the middle to try to get a ball. Except, of course, here you keep going to reach the other side. And it was even busier later in the evening than what is on the video.

The Land of Umbrellas. This
scene was so surreal - now I
know where they got the idea
for the Blue Umbrella video.

At times, it was so busy that
you couldn't move across the
flow of humanity to get to a
store.
