Day 6 A nerd pilgrimage

Today was really just one of the most exciting things I could have asked for. We get to go to Akihabara which some of you may know as nerd paradise. Every inch of district is head to toe electronics and anime. The shops are in fact so over stocked that they just put the best deals out in the streets so most of the streets look like a bizarre. They had every piece of anime nerd gear one could ever hope for. It's not an exaggeration to say there were multiple buildings each having at least 3-5 floors of just anime stuff. We spent a good amount of time just looking around at all the cool gizmos and what not. The rest of the time we were accidentally walking into porn stores. Now some of you may be rolling your eyes right now but I assure you that as someone who can not read Japanese the signs do not help any... one second you'll be on the first floor checking out some new computer gear and you decide to go upstairs... MISTAKE because apparently every computer store doubles as a smut shop in Akihabara...

I picked up a sweet gundam shirt and some cheap stickers and left that place with my wallet intact... somehow...
