Akihabara

We spent day two in Akihabara, after breakfast at Sukiyaki (Rice with raw egg, miso soup, salmon, pickled vegetables and fermented soy beans).

We dumped our baggage at the Akihabara train station and wandered the Akihabara electric town. Every niche and hobby is represented in this area, it's the Valhalla of nerds everywhere. It's full of geeky obsessions like every conceivable model shops, discount electronics and video games.


We found a 5 floor building devoted to retro video games, Quinn and I sat down to a game of Street Fighter 2 where he was soundly decimated.

We couldn't help ourselves, we tried, but McDonalds in Japan is very persuasive. I was beckoned by something called the McCutlet (Pork filled with cheese and covered with teriyaki sauce) and Quinn was entranced by a teriyaki burger (chicken with sauce, lame).

The afternoon became the quest for a map with even the slightest bit of english. Fail. It then turned into the day we found our new home.

SUZUKI SAMBAR DIAS!
