Tonight I headed downtown with Jana and her colleague and drinking partner, Phillipe, who is from France, and we went to the trendy Shibuya area. Shibuya is popular with young people as a shopping mecca, and it also happens to have a small cinema that was showing an interesting film by a Japanese director who was studying the evolution of reggae in Jamaica.
Shibuya is most famous for having the world's busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. At Hachiko Square, seven major streets intersect, and it is also a major intersection of human traffic moving in every direction. I even took a little video of the famous crossing to show you.
As Rupee once sang.... 'WHOOA! LOOK AT PEEEEEEEOPLE!!!'
Did you notice at the very end of the video, at the right hand bottom corner, a guy runs out into the intersection just as the light turns green, and almost gets hit by a motocycle!!!! Heh heh. Good stuff.
