August 5 - Akihabara - City of Electronics

Yesterday was my first time visiting Akihabara. Its pretty far too, its about an hour train ride from bas's house. Our group for today was Sebastian, Vinny, Haunts, Carlos, and Andry. A good fun crowd to hang out with.

On the way there, I took a picture of this cool sign on the bus..

Its a penguin trying to catch a bug. I donno why i liked this picture. it was cute hoho.

Another picture on the way there..It was a pond full of algae water! apparently this was near bas' university too.

Upon arrival, we went to "electric city". This is how it looks like when you first get out. Big Buildings and all.

We shopped around a lot. Everything seemed really cheap. Good keyboards and mouses were like 5 bucks and headphones were like 10. This place strictly adheres to electronics, anime, games, and porno. Many of the stores were 7-8 stories tall filled with variety of games, toys, etc. It was pretty cool, a good place to take your kids..(except the top floor since thats where all the porno is at).
Whee porno!

There isn't much to say about akihabara. If you're a fan of anime, games, or electronics. this is the place for you to blow your cash. I wasn't appealed much, although I did buy a small little figurine to put in my room of Bison from SF4 haha. It was worth the trip though, I want to visit many places here.

After Akihabara the group went to Takadanobaba to play Street Fighter at BigBox which I wasnt really a big fan of doing. I met up with bas at Chofu and he bought me the biggest ramen i've yet to eat! Thanks bas!


Random: There is a dog outside the tsutsujigaoka train station that is really dope. it just watches people go by. I want this dog.

I cant believe ive been here 2 weeks already. Its going by way too fast. I leave in 3 weeks...I dont even want to think about it. I wish I had more time here. I have a big list of places I want to visit. I just hope Ill have enough time to see them all.

Its raining right now, and its humid and hot as hell. With this conflicting weather, I don't know If ill be going out today... Supposedly its supposed to be like this for the next 10 days...
