Out and About in Akihabara.

Last Friday Mikie, and Kanako arranged for an acquaintance of theirs, Kanoko-chan, to show me around Akihabara.

I needed to get some shoes so we first went to Ueno, a cheap shopping district. After searching for some time, we got thirsty so we got some bubble tea.

Bubble tea guy was very entertaining. He kindly read the menu out loud to me, stressing odd syllables in the words. He basically yelled the menu using various funny accents. After paying for our drinks and the show I found that I had no cash.

It took about one hour to find the ATM. No one seemed to know where to use a foreign credit card. The bank staff where clueless. Eventually 7ELEVEN saved the day.

While wandering around I found this cool noodle ad.
The Chopsticks actually move up and down. MMM...Ramen.

Well anyway Akihabara is a lot of fun, and even more when you can afford to buy all the cool things. But when you think about it I went to a giant toy museum with no admission cost.
