My mom was just scaring me because she didn't want me to hang around the city to cause any troubles, you know, she was a strict mom when I was a kid. So it was not dangerous, never ever been dangerous…hahaha
You're right. Back in around 1994, Harajuku was not so unique as today, which was how I remember.

You can always contact me personally from the contact form located at the right top under title banner, if you need to.
So when you plan to come to Japan and feel like seeing me, please just do that, and I'll try to make it!

It's fast in Tokyo that stores change. That means when you come here next time, you'll find new shops and stuff!

Hi Kirin! I never thought that Harajuku had that image… been going there when I was in 3rd and 4th Grade only together with my Egyptian friend. Back then it didn't seem that scary though there were also a lot of people during that time but they weren't wearing the weird clothes like the ones I see in tv. Gothic style and all other style. I think there's drastic changes that has happened there, last time I was there was 1994.. (*_*) hope to meet and see you someday during my trip there.

When I went to Harajuku,I spent most of my time in Urahara. First I went to see the Design Festa Gallery, and I also visited Chicago, 6%DokiDoki, and several random stores that I saw when I was wandering around (like that Romantic Standard store that's in the pictures on the website where you got that map from). I really liked it, it wasn't very busy and there were a lot of nice, unique things there. I'll have to do more exploring next time–I feel like there is a lot that I missed.

I noticed you also left me the message at the shoutbox when you added me on twitter, but as you say, I was not sure what to do with yours because you seem to have your tweets closed. I am not sure what to do with those who close tweets, so I just follow people who open tweets and link URL at the BIO. I'm not good at something unusual on the web because I'm poor at tech and new things on the internet. (-_-;)
