# Japan's Consumerism is Strong

The only set thing we had planned was a jean making experience in Shibuya with an old jeans-craftsman. We woke up too late for our hotel breakfast so we went to KrispiKreme. The doughnuts were not as good, they felt too thick and left a weird sugar film feeling in the mouth. I know I'm not making it up because my wife asked me about it, I swear.

We took an elevator up into a building that looked like an apartment building, and were greeted with a small rustic looking denim store
