# Japan's Consumerism is Strong
|

For our third and last day in Tokyo (for now) we decided to get in all the shopping we were up for. The only set thing we had planned was a jean making experience in Shibuya with an old jeans-craftsman. We woke up too late for our hotel breakfast so we went to KrispiKreme. The doughnuts were not as good, they felt too thick and left a weird sugar film feeling in the mouth. I know I'm not making it up because my wife asked me about it, I swear. We hopped on a 10 minute train ride and walked over to the address. Walking the streets here is really interesting, everything feels so local. Its streets wind in curvey criss-crossing patterns, so at any one point, you can't see very far on the skyline. It's kind of like in DisneyLand where they hide all the infrastucture behind atmosphere-building decorations and whatnot. I like it, it feels cozy. We took an elevator up into a building that looked like an apartment building, and were greeted with a small rustic looking denim store
