I spent two weeks there at the beginning of this last summer, spent several hundred dollars in Akiba, the Chameleon Club in Musashi-Kosugi, and various Book-Offs around Tokyo and Mito. That reminds me, I never actually did that writeup I promised I'd post...Originally Posted by Akihabara
I want to go back. Oh, how I want to go back. The sights! The shops! But then, the plane fares and the being a college student.
(BTW, Chameleon Club is a chain game store over there, and what Gamestop/EB should be. They wrap used games, keep discs behind the counter, and let you inspect the discs before you pay for them. Classy!)
