The light blinks, the crowds swarm. You try to run, for you are in a hurry but you can’t. People are surrounding you. Babies, grandpa's, kids, dogs, you name it’s there. You are only one of the 2.5 million pedestrians that come to the Shibuya Tokyo, Japan intersection a day. After you go to the glorious malls and the savory food in Shibuya,you must go to the intersection again. People are yelling and shoving when you arrive. The smell of the streets and body odor is foul but this is the only way to get where you need to be. The light turns to the walking sign it and seems like time stops. Cars are no where in your sight. All you can see is people everywhere. There is even a kid on the ground being stepped on as his parents frantically try up to get him up. It takes you a full three minutes to walk through the intersection which is about the size of your lunchroom. In the end, you decide that it might be better next time to take the crowded train to the crowded wave pool instead of taking the crowded intersection.
