Tokyo, The Center Of Asian Fashion

Who doesn't want to visit this trend-setting, ultra modern, seemingly both odd and uber cool city?

There is no place like Tokyo. It may not be for the cheapskates or the nature-loving traveler, but nobody can argue that Tokyo is fascinating!

What makes Tokyo remarkable is not just the fashion sense of its citizens but also the dazzling arrays of world-class hotels, restaurants, and of course the fashion choices available in Tokyo.

Tokyo has been called one of the three command centers in the whole planet along with London and New York!

Shibuya

Shibuya, a ward of Tokyo among a few other districts, has one of the busiest railroad station in the metropolis.  Shibuya is also one of the major fashion centers in Japan. This area is well-loved and populated by the trendy youth of Japan and has a vibrant nightlife.

Dogen-zaka is one of the major streets in Shibuya that boasts a wide selection of night clubs...and love hotels.

Omotesando is another famous street in Shibuya that hosts dozens of designer and branded stores. This strip leads up to the Meiji Shrine.

 And of course we can't talk about Shibuya and not mention...

Harajuku

Harajuku is the name of a train stop in the Shibuya district. This is also where all the fun happens when it comes to wacky Japanese fashion.

Every Sunday young Japanese flock here in their Gothic Lolita, Cosplay and other Japanese fashion styles (see previous post).

Harajuku has also been made more popular in the International community by Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku Girls", the pop star's team of wildly-dressed Japanese girls who dance around with her on tours and videos for her successful album, Love.Angel.Music.Baby.

Check out more pics of Japanese, and even European, teens displaying their delightful and uber unique fashion trends in the streets of Harajuku, Shibuya:

R.I.P To The Sony Floppy Disc

Remember floppy discs? They were at their most popular in the mid-90s. Before CDs and the presently popular USB flash drives and online storage, this storage medium was all the rage.

Back in the 90s for the techie-fashionistas it was all about picking the right colors (they didn't just come in dreary black or gray) and colorful stickers. And what fun labelling them! Uh, ok maybe that's going too far.

But the floppy discs were definitely a necessity in school or work computing use back then.

Guess what? Say goodbye to them now (like you haven't for the past dozen years!) because Sony has just recently stopped manufacturing the discs.
Who knew Sony was still making these?!?

We can't imagine looking back to today in the future and laughing at the graphics of the Sony Playstation 3 or at Facebook. But hey, we didn't think we would chuckle at floppy discs or Windows 98 back then either!

Party like it's 1999, dear Sony floppies!
