Whats A Good Quad That's Like The Raptor

Akihabara, il quartiere dell'elettronica

For Akihabara (Akiba as the Japanese say) we were twice. Whether because of the climate (the first time and it was raining really annoying) but also to try some gifts technological commissioned by Friends of Europe.
I expected as other areas of Tokyo , a set 9 floors of shopping centers in all sorted where to find the ultimate in technology .. and instead I find myself in the middle of a sort of Arab souk stalls selling whatever is even remotely "electronic".
then stalls full of plugs and cables, boxes full of cables and usb, shelves filled with screwdrivers, batteries, plugs .. Then of course there are also computers, PDAs, cameras, calculators (!). But you must know the product very well, otherwise it is impossible to understand with the clerks. It 's all written in Japanese .

addition to hardware & software Hakihabara is a paradise for fans of DVD, videogames and cartoons / comics / models. Go
very random, you enter a building maybe 8 floors (ground plus 3) and on each floor you can find models, costumes to dress up as cartoon ( cosplay ), or worse still a playboy bunny or the sailor, various types of gadgets ..
By accident we ended up in a building entirely dedicated to porn: 8 floors of porn and erotic manga!
why men were all inside ..
usually from outside do not understand what you expect inside and get all the floors of these buildings is difficult. Get more info is pretty useless. Search for a store "Mandarake" Italians reported on some blogs. Nothing! No one knew! In

Akihabara shops you can walk between the size statue of Gundam or Evangelion , you can see the model of a Star Wars next to that of Captain Harlock, and you can see all the characters dressed in Cutie Honey or Lupin sexy .. But until you enter you never know what you find out why the written vertically .. are obviously all in Japanese.
Despite our passion for manga and allied crabs because we did not find the old things have very little .. cartoons and comic books are all very recent. Many of the robot.

Even as prices that are competitive is not so so, we have compared the prices of some DVDs and they were cheaper to Tower Records.
It 'still a beautiful world to see. Especially if one ventures through the narrow streets or in the media plans. Sometimes you discover a beautiful exhibition of watercolors, a pachinko room or a massage with massage (dressed as) students in sailor!
