harajuku

##18:18 Friday 27 March 2015 JST##

I just walked through Harajuku, along Yoyogi Park, then through the web of streets near Center Street (which has been renamed, but to what, I've forgotten), across Shibuya Scramble and am now on Yamanote Line headed home.

One shop piqued my interest (besides the place where I sometimes get chicken-pita sandwiches): My Free Bit, I think it was called. Android phones and branding of light blue on white background. What's free? Bits? bitcoin? phones? hmmm.

seat lottery

Seat Lottery is the game I like to play on the trains. If there are no seats available, size up the passengers to see who is most likely to get off the train first. Demographics, fashion, activity, and posture each play a role.

The person to my left will get off in Shibuya or possibly before Shibuya. I have made an imaginary bet of $500 that she'll get off the train before I get off in Harajuku.

I went to the toy store today on the way to Funatsu's exhibition. This time, I was able to solve two puzzles. Actually one's not really a puzzle, but it's just fiddly:

The other is a puzzle called Quattro Formaggi:
