Maciamo, this is so bizarre because I was just mentioning this very obversation to a friend of mine.

From the "duck-size crows" (Pararousia) to the "punkass wannabes" on their 250cc scooters (Iron Chef), this place is damn noisy. And living in Shibuya, all that noise seems to be amplified.

Here's my list:
- The "IRASHAIMASE!" and "ARIGATOUGOZAIMASU!!" upon entering and leaving all manner of shops. It's the way they shout it that puts me off-guard.
- The constant reminders to be safe, be it at the aiport, train station, revolving doors (I later learned the reason for the last one).
- Loud Techno or Hip-Hop Music blaring out of the shops
