Akihabara

Akihabara, or Akiba in short, is the Garden of Eden of geeks on this planet. Eight floor arcades are separated two minutes walk's apart. Before the shops even open, people line up in front of the doors, men, women, and children alike, sitting down and playing handheld video game consoles; and we're not talking, like, four or five people, either. Eighty to a hundred, easily. Anime and video game merchandise line the streets inside and outside of the shops. For a huge dork like myself, this is truly the promised land.
Walking into an electronics store is mind-blowing. Japan is literally a year ahead when it comes to just about any technology. Paper-thin ASUS laptops with incredible specs are on display alongside cameras that put the ones back home to shame.
See that, on the right? That's an honest-to-goodness Gundam Cafe. That's right. People love their god damn giant robots that much. I swear there's a line-up in front of this place too, usually. I was just up too early. One day I'll gather the balls to walk in there.
