Akihabara

the electric town of tokyo - the most recommended place by my research colleagues =p (or the geeks??)


saw a big pikachu n many cute cosplay girls distributing brochures once we got out from akihabara station...

there should be a lot of anime figurine shops here besides the camera/pc/handphones, but i've already got lots of them from Mandrake in Sakae, Nagoya and near Harajuku(or somewhere between Harajuku and Shibuya), Tokyo so i decided to go to the Anime center recommended by Wikitravel instead.



However, it's actually only a small shop in a complicated building (which i keep missed the lift that can go to the right floor =p). Still, it's not too bad (if only they have something like this in Melb =()


japan is full of temples, shrines and castle - even anime shrine =p





Akihabara at night -





full of neon lights!

we then catch a shinkansen to go back to Nagoya - with ekiben of course!




that's all for tokyo... yes i know i've been back from japan for more than 1 month and STILL havent been able to cover all travel trips details - still have Inuyama, Nagoya port, Higashiyama Koen and Nara part two (and maybe more that i cant remember now? =p)
