Akihabara is the electronics captial of Japan. You can find anything here that deals with electronics. ANYTHING. I'm not exaggerating. It's an entire town devoted to it. It's also the geek capital of the world. Alot of these people literally lose themselves here. They use this place to escape from the real world into a world of computers and Anime. At first I thought I would fit in here. I like electronics and I like Anime. Um...er...no. Disturbing is what is was. Don't get me wrong all things are good if you're balanced but the extent to which these people go is quite alarming. It's great to visit if you want to buy a computer or some anime, but these people live there, spend all their time and money here. I don't have pictures because alot of places won't let you take them. However I do have 2 videos. The first is of a rapping Santa outside of a store in Akihabara. Need I say more? The second is of a store that sells Gundam Models. For those of you who aren't familar Gundam is an Anime that is extremely popular in the US and Japan. I like it myself. This is ONE of the walls in this store. Insane.

Dude, that place is a mecca for geeks! But you know, you shouldn't knock the santa. That might be you if in a few years if you're not careful. That toy-shelf makes Time Warp on D&D night seem cool. (Remember that??)
ReplyDeleteWow, i was going to make that mecca comment. But I was going to spell it wrong.
