Back to Japan for the second time; exactly one year after the last time and feeling much better physically than the last time. (I got sick just before leaving Singapore then.) My visit this time around was not planned as much as it should or could have been. The last few months have really flown by.
So far (2 days in), I have done some of the things I enjoyed from last time, such as eating some delicious butter chicken curry, saag paneer and garlic nan bread at the Shinjuku branch of Siddique Group. I wish they would open branches in Canada.
I also hit a few Adidas stores and broke my credit card pretty good. The items on offer here in Japan are more varied and more exciting than what they have back home. Particularly, the clothing. Though the shoe selection is quite impressive as well.
I also hit the Kamo soccer shop in Shibuya again. The selection is amazing and covers 4 stories. I found the branch in Harajuku the next day; it covers 5 stories I believe.
I spent my first evening in Shibuya watching the Japan-Netherlands soccer match at Rhythm Café. I had a Japan jersey on, which as a foreigner, made me rather popular among people there. Unfortunately, Japan lost.
More to come in a later post.
