#CatTravels: Aloha in Chigasaki

by on April 29, 2012 in Adventures, Videos

One of the reasons I flew to Japan was to go to the Aloha Market in Chigasaki.

It’s a two-day festival that celebrates all things Hawaii — from its hula to its food — and thousands of people flock to Southern Beach every year for it.

After spending two weeks here, I’ll admit, it was nice to eat local food, see Aloha shirts and listen to Hawaiian music.

I was really starting to miss home.

So here’s what the two days at the Aloha Market — and a Japanese food festival across the street — looked like:

I knew this was going to be interesting as soon as I saw this van, covered in Hawaii-pride stickers. (Some in Engrish.) This van was parked in the lot where the annual Aloha Market was held in Chigasaki. This festival celebrates all things Hawaii.

#CatTravels: Wandering Shibuya and Harajuku

by on April 25, 2012 in Adventures, Videos

We tried to get everything into the last day in Tokyo before heading south to Chigasaki.

Shopping at Tokyu Hands.

Walking around Harajuku.

Dodging traffic at the intersection outside Shibuya Station.

Dinner and dessert in Ginza.

Not bad for 12 hours!

Here’s what that all looked like:

What a difference a day makes! Look at these blue skies!

Watch me cross the busy intersection in Shibuya — and live to tell about it
