Akiba Antics
I think the best thing about Akihabara was how happily and boldly shops proclaimed their adult DVDs. Take, for example, the following picture. Right beneath the huge Dejiko welcoming you to Akiba, the sign advertises soft porn, in fluffy pink lettering.
Right across the street from that was an even larger sign offering adult DVDs, but that one didn’t have the welcome sign above it.
This is an almost noodle vending machine. Pay the vending machine, it gives you a slip of paper, you give the paper to the dude inside, and he gives you your food. The kitsune soba was really good.
And socks!
The little bitty one on the right is the before. It really does stretch to fit my foot! But unfortunately it didn’t fit Daddy, so it won’t fit kt_n_dd. That would be so neat though, if it did!
We also found me an electronic dictionary, but the manual’s bigger than the dictionary and all in Japanese with kanji I’ve never seen before, so I’ve just been pushing buttons. One day I’ll figure it out! Of course by then I might need a more advanced one… I see a flaw in this course of action. XD
Oh, and at the train station there was an entire room full of gashapon (the machines that dispense toys in little plastic bubbles)! I found a phone that is the perfect size for Kei. So now he mocks me in my lack of phone-ness.
Phone: *rings*
Kei: Hello?
Kei: It’s for you
Kei: … Not! XP
Soto: *cries* Keita~i…! Meanie.
Let’s see… Next was the start of the tour. Four more days and I’m all caught up! And then - cue dramatic music - Sightings of Engrish and Of Other Funny Things! :3
