After arriving at the hotel, I
suddenly noticed that we had forgotten to bring the most important thing to
power up my arsenal of gadgets, a power adapter. Scratching my head and looking
through the local convenience stores yielded nothing. I decided to visit
Akihabara the very next day. We could almost see Akihabara from our hotel
because it was just one stop away from our metro station. A short walk from the
station Akihabara, we arrived at the main streets of the Electric Town. Huge
buildings, bright colours and gigantic wall posters of anime characters
surrounded us. The kid in me was screaming, “come on, let’s go, let’s go!” Most
of these buildings were at least eight storeys tall and each building usually
carry one type of merchandise, it was either photography, computers, electronic
gadgets, or anime related. After much searching, we located a quite expensive
power adapter for my use and with a few, hmm other things. The main attraction
here for me is Yodobashi Camera Akiba,
ヨドバシ.
Yodobashi has a lot of
branches throughout Japan, but the one here in Akihabara is the flagship store,
it is nine levels of camera and accessories. I was like a boy in the world’s
biggest toy shop, very hard to express my feelings on writing, but I’m sure you
get the idea. It was very difficult and emotional to leave the store.
