Shibuya, Tokyo

A giant video screen adorn the building's facade, just above Starbuck.





A 'tidal wave' of human crossing a the large intersection infront the station (Hachiko exit). No where in the world of my life that i have seen such a crowd.




Unable to find Hachiko statue (t oooooo crowded, maybe camouflaged by the humans) so, i ended up with these statue of small boys molesting each other.


Posing with an ET alike sculpture opposite Seibu.
SHIBUYA
We were here twice on 4 and 5 July 2007.
A prominent landmark of Shibuya is the large intersection in front of the station (Hachiko Exit), which is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant video screens and gets crossed by amazingly large crowds of pedestrians each time the traffic light turns green.
It is a shopping and eating district popular with a lot of young Tokyoites.
Whether you love this city within a city or despise it, there is a feeling of thankfulness that it is here, a paradise for my daughter to shop her favourite CDs and clothings.
