Shimokitazawa
Tokyo, Japan - serlingrod - Friday, April 27th, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Shimokitazawa is a neighborhood in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward famous for its nightlife. Shimokitazawa (also known as "Shimokita") is a very well-known place for young people to hang out. There are hundreds of small shops that cater to young adults such as clothing, household items, restaurants, clubs, and bars. A friend whom I met while studying abroad and I used to frequent a few bars in the neighborhood, which all had the name "Mother" in them. There was "Blood Mother", "Mother's Bar", and "Mother's Ruin." I regret not taking any shots of them.

it probably is, unless it's mcdowels from coming to america, but i marvel at how society has changed there in japan, as a child i remember when they were bombing tokyo, i sometimes wonder if japan would ever go to war with the US again, i think not, i think elvis had a great influence over the kids there, i remember as a teen reading about the teen's in japan and how they worshipped elvis, this country owes elvis a thank you for changing japan into a modern country, having their kids dance and dress like elvis, having their kids realize that america is a wonderful country.

they still love michael jackson as well. he's HUGE! him and mickey mouse. basically anything that embodies the spirit of U.S. pop culture.
One man I met there said to me....."USA.....NUMBER ONE!.....JAPAN.....NUMBER TWO!!!"
Another said....."Best state....HAWAII!"

hahahaha, thats classic, serlingrod...
and jack: i love thinking of elvis as a mouthpiece for american imperialism abroad... as a nation, we do indeed owe a debt of gratitude to the king...
jack: wow, i wish i had elvis' hair.
Peter: 28th Apr 2007 - 05:18 GMT
today, someone told me i had really nice hair. im letting it grow out, after years of having a buzz cut... elvis, eat yer heart out. onward to saskatoon!
jack: 30th Apr 2007 - 13:41 GMT
i am so jealous of your hair. mine is somewhat set back, sort of the tony soprano look.
