| Late-night street peddlers set up shop on the sidewalks 
of Shibuya. Lots of sunglasses and jewelry, plus some 
salesmen of dubious legitimacy, like these two -- the 
one on the left has what's probably bogus Louis Vuitton 
luggage (whose appeal among the affluent I find 
inexplicable -- it's so ugly, and boring), and 
the guy on the right is selling hallucinogenic 
psilocybin mushrooms, whose possesion is legal 
(although usage is not) under a curious 
loophole 
in Japanese law. |
