Although H&M’s Ginza store has been open for several weeks the masses still appear content to spend a beautuful autumn day queuing up outside:

At the time this photo was taken the wait to enter was 2 hours, and it reportedly took another 2 hours to try clothes on in the fitting room:

Chuo-dori, one of Ginza’s main streets, is closed to traffic on weekends:

  1. I hear from a lot of gals that they love the place.

  2. I saw one j-girl with a H&M bag on the train the other week, and knowing the lines were crazy, I thought to myself, “wow, she just wasted a lot of her life today.”

    Sunshine is so rare in Tokyo, I couldn’t fathom squandering it buying some non-functional clothing (i.e. not quick-drying, not wind-proof, not water-proof).

    Then again, there are a lot of things I can’t fathom about this city.

    I spent the past weekend in Nagano Prefecture. That made me think why don’t I live in the countryside?
