Shinjuku station is also the busiest station in Tokyo. It's where you hear about people pushers that gently cram folks onto the train. I didn't see this, but we weren't hanging around the station at 7 in the morning. Much of Shinjuku station is below ground, and there are entrances into the station from all around Shinjuku. We headed down at around 7pm so we were mainly surrounded by businessmen heading home, and there is some thrill of walking into one of the passages and getting swept up in the sea of people all going the same way. "Go with the flow" takes on a whole new meaning here.
Just outside Shinjuku station is a building with a huge Hi-Def display that is super bright and unbelievably sharp. Complete with sound. This is better than the movies! I could watch TV on that thing all day.
Pam bought some clothes at Isetan, a big department store, and the cashier fitted a special plastic cover over the bag with a slot so the handle could stick out. How cute! Shopping bags are like accessories; girls don't want to be seen without one. So it makes sense that there would be a way to protect your bags from getting soggy and still be able to tout them around town. Shopping for even the smallest item is fun if just to watch how carefully the cashiers wrap and bag your package.
