Shibuya Station Crossing 2

A different angle of the first vid I posted, same deal.

This is a fairly famous street in front of Shibuya Station. The Hachiko Exit of the station is probably one of the worst places to meet your friends because everyone else is meeting their friends there. Unless you're white--white people are always easy to find, even in an endless sea of Japanese people.

Wiki refers to this as a Pedestrian Scramble or a Scramble Crossing. I think this is simply amazing that I can cross through so many people and never once touch another person. Part of the Japanese way of life, I suppose.

I recorded the entire cycle of the traffic lights, so it isn't really too exciting until a minute in...

At the end, a man approaches me and asks if he can take my picture. I was pretty excited because I learned that phrase just a day or two before. Kind of silly, I guess.
