Akiba I love it so



Yello Everybody,

Today was my last full day in Japan. I arrived in Tokyo early morning stopped had breakfast and rested for a while before heading over to the capsule hotel in Akihabara to drop my bags off. After doing that I spent the entire day in Akiba, looking through electronics, otaku and souveneer stores. I bought several otaku related items, some gifts for people and towards the end of the day after checking all the stores around I bought a digital camera for myself. My other camera as i`ve mentioned is tempermental and old(it was my dad`s old camera 1st). So for the low price of just over 20000 yen($200) I bought myself a 7.1 megapixel Nikon "Coolpix" digital camera, a leather case and a 2 gigabite SD card、not a bad price if I do say so myself. Anyway for dinner I went to an interesting cafe called "with cat"(or alternately "witch cat"), it was a neko mimi theme cafe, with all the waitresses dressed in maid outfits with cat ears(very cute). The cafe was(as the majority of them are) very laid back and family friendly and I enjoyed a nice light dinner and some great service. Unfortunately they prohibit photography so I can`t show you any pictures.

Anyway tommorrow is my last day in Tokyo and in Japan, my plan is to go and see the studio gibli museum in the morning, followed by lunch and some final shopping(and probably cash changing) in Shinjuku before heading to Narita airport aiming to get there by 4:30(the plane leaves at 8:10. I`ll try to do another post tommorrow, probably at an internet cafe in Shinjuku.

The photo`s today are one of my new camera and one of the sign for the with cat cafe.
