Shopping in Akihabara

By Dyske    September 10th, 2007

Akihabara is a section in Tokyo where they sell almost nothing but electronics. It is a popular destination for tourists. In this video, they asked 100 tourists what they bought, and presented the top 5 items. The voice overdub is pretty funny. The no. 1 item is unexpected.

    Man! I lived in Tokyo for a while and evertytime I had to go to Akihabara (usually to guide some foreigner friend) was really a nightmare. So bright and noisy that I always got home with a headache. Really, my favorite places in Tokyo were usually low profile, smilling old (but not so “historical” like Kyoto): Shitamachi, Ikebukuro. And yeah, I still have a little of Edokko-ben since dad is really a edokko.
