Tokyo Part 1- Ginza and Harajuku Dec 2014

Off we go to Tokyo Ginza!

There were a tons of upscale boutiques featuring brands like MCM, Chanel, etc etc... but we did not take any photos of these places.
Because you can see these brands in every major city in the world anyway...

But there is only the original Henri Charpentier in Tokyo.
So here we are, to spend the better part of an afternoon desserting and chilling...
