Akihabara is a lot like Shibuya except for a few details:
-first, the people there a much friendlier
-second, the prices are much cheaper
-third, the products are a bit different
In Akihabara, there are a lot of arcades (just like Shibuya) but most of the stores are meant for otakus (anime-fans). Again, a lot of stores are expended in whole buildings so to see everything you have to climb a lot of stairs. The other thing about this city is that pornography is very much common. 3X comics are found easily in all stores. I thought these places would be sausage-fests but apparently, a lot of girls check it out...
The sad part is that cameras aren't allowed inside and there are a lot of surveillance cameras to make sure this rule applies :(
But in the streets cameras are okay.
In short, we spent the whole day looking up stores for any stuff and trying various arcades, taking a look at new games which aren't yet overseas.
There is also this place called Crazy Crèpes where you have a huge variety of pancakes filled with ice-cream, sugar, fruits and fudge.
And here's mine: Banana and chocolate Double Ice :) yummy!
It tastes great and it's not really expensive either.
Let's hope a chain opens in Canada. You guys gotta try this...
Tomorrow awaits.
See you soon.
