Chapter 10 : Electric City

Chapter 10 : Electric City

After having gotten a good dose of culture and Ramen I looked up things that might interest me, such as anime and video games as I mentioned in chapter 1, and all signs pointed to the Mecca for such things, a place known as electric city or Akihabara. Taking the train there was simple and fast, being only two stops from my Capsule. Boy was this an experience, even before getting to the station I noticed that many of the passengers were foreigners and Japanese people alike dressed like anime characters, a sight which became inescapable the moment the train arrived. Akihabara is known as the Mecca for all things "Geek" in Japanese culture and for good reason. Think Times Square cranked up to 11 and filled with the most out of this world characters. The feeling you get there is one of pure fantasy, but its edged with a harsh electric assault one cannot ignore or escape. I took advantage of the opportunity though, having found a place I wanted to go before arriving. A place known as Super Potato.
