Forget Times Square, Union Square and the Vaduzer Staedtle!
If you want to see people you have to go to Shibuya, Tokyo.
I have been to many places with big crowds, but what I saw today blew my mind. Shibuya is an ant hive where many thousands of people that walk around, shop, talk, play music and look very fashionable. The crowd seems to change every minute and if you don't watch out you will bump into some random person who stopped dead in their tracks because they are lost. Even 'locals' look lost here. There is too much of everthing all over the place.
I had to leave this place shortly after arrving because I was afraid that I develop a Grand Mal seizure.

Overwhelmed? This is a quite realistic impression of Shibuya.
Shibuya Crossing. Hundreds of people cross the street from all directions. One tall, foreign man (myself) didn't seem to understand the idea behind this and almost got hit by a moped. 
Wow! Your picture on top is really crazy!!!
