tokyo diary: day 1

It's been a very tiring day...our hotel, Tokyustay at Nishi Shinjuku is a brand new hotel near the nishi shinjuku gochome station. It is definitely good price plus each room has a washing/drying machine!!! What's not to like? :). Anyways, we were only able to check in after 4pm, we arrived at the hotel around 10:30 am. So, we decided to wander around a bit. First stop was the infamous Harajuku, we ate at some delicious fast food (hamburger rice-very good) then headed over to these cute little stores in Harajuku...first stop was Edward

Further along Harajuku, we found this cute pet paradise shop!! I thought this was a children's clothing shop...

From here, we walked to Shibuya and I saw this very Japanese clothing shop (at least the clothing here look like those in my Japanese sewing book) called ehka sopo

I then found this extremely cute shop called mint design...oooo I love their fabric prints, so very beautiful and not to mention...expensive! So I could only drool :(...Next to this shop, I found a book store and I bought some Japanese sewing books

By now we were all very tired and decided to go back to the hotel to take a shower...it is now my turn :)...here is my treasures for today (I found a little fabric shop along the way)! sayonara!
