me & emi in shibuya


me & amy shibuya, originally uploaded by bindifry.

so this is shibuya on a sunday after class, walking to curry noodles. it's about 1pm and it's really not as crazy crowded here as i thought it would be. i bought the orange down coat at a place called uniqlo, a very reasonably priced store with lots of wool, cashmiere, cottons to choose from in many colors. this coat was on sale for around $40 bucks-and it's down! yes, it's a bit chilly in tokyo but nothing compared to chicago. the japanese are very sensitive to the cold, so what feels extreme to them is quite warm to me. heaters are common all over the place, even outside. and they overheat the busses & trains. this photo was taken by zen the photographer. it's the first time i'm meeting my next host here, emi. she had just returned from 4 days of business in mumbai. she speaks urdu & regularly visits pakistan & india. she loves india, too, and knows who shahrukh khan is. i have met many japanese yogis that have visited india.
