back during the days of akiba's hokousha tengoku
With my trip fresh on my mind, thought I’d write up a post with tips, suggestions, costs, etc. for making a trip to akiba. I’ve been lucky to have gone quite a few times now, so I think I’ve got at least a few tidbits to share ^^; Of course, this will all be based on my own experiences – I wouldn’t be surprised if folk have better suggestions – keep yourself open to other possibilities ^_^
So yeah… no, no one died and made me the akiba expert… yet somehow I’ve managed to write up quite a novel. Read on if you want an insanely long list of things to consider ^^;

Well, somehow I made it back in one piece. Recommendation: do not get sick two days before your flight. I did, and basically spent the whole time trying to recover as quickly as possible ;_; (thanks for all the well wishes! m(_ _)m) On the bright side, I booked a hotel that was basically across the street from ueno station. i.e. I could get to akiba in about 10 minutes ^_^
Think I’ll go in chronological order, lewt post will follow in the next couple days… (not too much this time, especially by rin’s standards :P)

Didn’t really do too much new this trip and the weather was awful so I was less inclined to carry around my camera ^^; Nevertheless, snapped some pics of the odaiba gundam of course ^^
Evidently it officially opened just after I left though besides the light show and such I’m not sure there was any else different.

Been meaning to post photos, stories or just anything since getting to Tokyo, but work, last minute trips, and a lack of planning got in the way of all that.
As mentioned in the previous post, this trip is a super last minute business trip + vacation time added on. What do you know the first night I’m here I remember that my laptop’s ethernet port is broken (have been using wireless) so I can’t check my work e-mail! Also I found out that the plug adapter I threw in my bag was for german outlets! Thank goodness for akiba… it was 7pm… rushed off and was able to buy everything I needed ^^ Plus the manga pictured above ^^
