My favorite part of Tokyo Akihabara is a destination not to be missed by anyone thats wants to experience modern Japan in all its splendor .
The journey is just beginning to Akihabara station , where you go to Akiba city a glorious monstrosity over 6 floors with any electronic you can think of and a whole lot more . Nearly two floors devoted to only the coldest and mobile phone accessories and more advanced ( I'll upload a pic of some crazy dongles mobile phone soon) I could literally spend days there, but I 'm retired and few hours and ventured further .
Next stop, another style skyscrapper mall to check out some of the other great offers Japanse and my visit to an original invention of Tokyo " main coffee " ** after 4 floors or fresh Japanese trinkets and -a- thing I madooes 'm online for " at Home Cafe household " , where I offer a choice of counter or in the living room , I just counter so I could really enjoy and savor the envrionment . the girls were all very bubly constantly Gigling , dressed to the T and tried to respond as best they can given their limited English skills. I ordered a latte , cheesecake shapped like a cats face , my total expense seat ( and my own membership card international bronze (no, I did not pay extra for it ) was about $ 17 dollars , so a little on the pricey but the atmosphere was well worth it , highly recommended!
Next stop: Shinjuku
This is the typical image you get from Tokyo traffic and huge crowds of people and subways where people are packed like sardines during rushhour . I finally found a really cool mall shopping center which had Pachinko *** on the ground floor and a games room on the 2nd (also an underground swimming area )
I visited a few arcades in Tokyo now and I must say that it is not to be missed . I spent most of my time on SF4 just because it was the only game I knew, tried a few others, but defenitely not the craziest there ... wait for it ... arcade game based on the trading card ... wow . HD huge where people buy collectible card games (all basic rules of trading cards screens, including rare but now you play against on a sensitive screen, move them as you would a stick arcade and follow the action on the screen. It must be seen to be believed ...
As a completely independent side note, invaded Virgin Radio Montreal , with the introduction of Virgin Radio, but ... then flew Mix 96 and brought him back to the UK? check http://www.mix96.co.uk/
** To cafes household uninitiated are spread all over Akihabara and theme varies from one to another, but the general principle is , you are greeted by Japanese bubly girls in suits relating to the particular theme of cafes, greet you warmly with a " welcome home master " so that you can relax after a long day of Tokyo. The menus are usually a bit limited , but the themes are limited only by Japanese imigination ...
*** Pachinko is a Japanese invention of crazy games and is apparently very addictive machine hybrid on / marble / playing cards
