Akihabara

Ok. I came back from my Akihabara trip yesterday and slept a good deal. I walked around the entire district for a couple of hours checking out gadgets and manga, anime. I'm not so into manga but I decided to check out the stores just to learn about it more. By the way, Manga is Japanese comics. So like I mentioned yesterday, I went looking out for an SLR. Well, I got one! It's a used NIkon D70 that came with a lens. When I got it, I immediately began snapping shots of everything I saw. From those vending machines to the cosplayers  standing in the street. Everything really. It was a lot of fun. Speaking of cosplayers, a girl dressed in a maid outfit invited me to go to their maid cafe. That sounded interesting so I tried to follow the directions on the brochure she gave me. But I got lost. (I'm not so good at directions.)  I walked all around and then found myself walking around in circles. I tried to ask for directions but nobody really knew about this cafe or they DID give me directions but I couldn't find it. Talk about IDIOT. Well, maybe I just misunderstood the directions. But anyway, I just gave up after 2 hours of wandering around. But at least I got to explore the area a bit. Akihabara was fun anyhow. It was nice to see some foreigners, too. 

I know I was supposed to talk about the transit system, but I got carried away with Akihabara. So maybe I'll talk about the later. Jaa!
