tokyo photo diary 3



Some shots from my trip to Japan a couple weeks ago: shooting with Mercury Duo and ViVi, making the most out of my proximity to Topshop and Opening Ceremony, wandering around Shibuya with my mom, breaking in my Obakki zipper bag, testing as many different coffee drinks from 7-11 as possible, jewelry I picked up along Takeshita-Dori, cheesy grins with Osami Yabuta, the wall collage that ViVi made from my blog photos, Shibuya by night, and baggage claim to mark the end.

Going back to Tokyo is always so amazing it almost feels like a relief..every time I come home I feel a little empty for a few days as I transition back. Depressing huh. But I'm working on figuring it out to where I can spend a lot more time in Japan..I'll keep you guys posted!

which issue of vivi are you featured in? i always follow vivi anyways and i can't wait to see you in it! : )

and i know exactly how you feel about feeling depressed afterr coming back from Japan. i always feel like that when i come back home from Hong Kong....my friends and i call it the Hong Kong Blues. There's just so much more excitement in the Asian countries!

Melissa said...

Do you spend time in any other cities in Japan when you visit? I'm planning on going next year and I'd love to know if there are other cities I should see. Have you ever been to Osaka?

I had to laugh when I saw all the empty Starbucks cups. Last time I was there I tried to order my coffee in very broken Japanese. The guy at the counter just smiled and turned the barista and said "grande latte." I felt like an idiot.

also, i randomly searched for treasure chest vtg on ebay and it seems like your store has been empty for a while! It would be awesome to see that come back. Have you thought about working on your own, more legit (ie not blogger/ebay based) online store?
