Shimokita & Shin-Ookubo

This monday was 体育の日 or something, a national holiday. Went to a "trendy" part of town, Shimokitazawa and Shin-Ookubo - "Korean Town
"
My guide, Mayu was great, she knew all the places like the back of her hand so I had a good time. Mayu also speaks Finnish (でも話してくれない。)


The Japanese flag 日の丸, usually it's a rare sight, but can be seen on National Holidays. This one's at my University

Had a dinner in an extremely local Korean restaurant. Cooked meat at the table korean style and washed it down with Korean vodka like alcohol. チャミスル (Chamisuru)
