Shibuya. A thong of people.Young and old alike. Lights teeming .Pachinko machines blaring on every corner. Girls with makeup like pandas.Skin golden brown.Starbucks and Macdonalds wafting through the atmosphere,curling its way around the senses and grabbing hold of your wallet.Pedestrian crossings so daunting that you need valium to cross alive or risk being squashed as the man turns to green.Stick out the elbows take a deep breath and walk.The sounds of trains beeping and tooting as the yamanote leaves bound for Shinjuku,please mind the gap.The clip clip clip as turned in shoes make along the pavements............and a giraffe making its way slowly down the street looking each way.I think he lost his mummy.......but no-one stops to take a look or ask him if he's lost his way........most strange.Did I enter Alice in Wonderland or did I just leave?
(This really did happen..........I saw a small giraffe,stuffed of course walking down the street in Shibuya)
