Every begin has an end. Like my trip to Japan has come to an end. The effort for saving up the money for the trip and looking towards the moment the journey begins was a long long wait. As I am back at my own place starting to write my experiences du...

As I'm sure a lot of people know, there's a show called Super Sentai which started way back in 1975 and is just about to start it's 36th year. You should at least know it from the Western adaptation; Power Rangers from 1993-onwards. 2012 is the year...

So after a huge mess with my flight I finally managed to arrive at Tokyo Narita international airport.

After seeing NagatoPyon's post about her adorable Yumi with the alpaca army I had to go dig out Aki's photos in the Akihabara showroom ^o^ I think NagatoPyon took cuter photos with Yumi chan :P Feels like we did not spend enough time in Akihabara ^^;...

Went to Akiba today to study for my final exams (tomorrow).. Why I go to Akiba to study? Because I found the best place in the world for Nintendo 3DS Streetpass >:) Just have a drink at "Vie de France" next to Yodabashi Camera and you will have a vie...

Few weeks ago a new Good Smile Cafe opened on the 5th floor in the new building "Akiba Culture Zone" ^o^ This Good Smile Cafe works together with King of System, so you can actually do karaoke too :3 (in rooms, not in the cafe of course ^^;;).. You d...

When I've showed my photos from Akihabara, people always ask me where such and such is. To help, I picked up this map in Akiba. Its a bit out of date, so I have annotated the map with the hotspots. For full resolution, check my blog.

Following on from Harajuku, I once again visited Akihabara! Love it there so much. I was at work from day 4 till today (day 8). I return to Tokyo tomorrow and have two more weeks in Japan! Only have my laptop with me for work, so won't be uploading a...

So, on Day Two, I spend most of the day in Nakano Broadway, and awesome Otaku shopping place in Tokyo. Bookmarking the day was Akihabara, since that's where I get the train from. I already posted up my loot from this day. Was awesome. Probably posted...

I've been promising in all my loot posts that I'll put up the photos from my current Japan trip. On Day One, I arrived in Akihbara about 5pm, but still had a great time, before taking one of the last trains back. Returning to Akihabara felt just like...

Anime News Network are reporting that Good Smile Company and Tetsujin are opening 10 new anime cafes in Asia. With the first being in Akihabara on October 28th! This is very exciting for me, because I'm going to be in Japan at the time! Apparently th...

My husband and I just got back from Japan today and I thought I'd share my pictures of the haul with you all! We chose to go to Tokyo for our honeymoon as we loved it so much when we went over new years. We're both very good at UFO catchers, so many...

Met up with Hotaru today at Akihabara station, and he showed me some great places around Akihabara that I would have missed on my own.. The first of which was Dolk, a little store a few blocks from the main drag that sells doll items. For the size of...

Hello again! I`m cathing up in my posts again and today I`m covering day 3. So at the start of the day I checked out of my hostel and moved to a capsule hotel about 15mins away but still in Asakusa. Things didn`t start out to good since I had to che...

First day poking around Akihabara.. Needed a 1m Cat-5 cable and an adapter for the power plug on my laptop to go from 3-prong North American to the two prong in the hotel.. Wandered around in what was sweltering heat and humidity compared to home.....

So, for many years I have been planning on traveling to Japan. I finally scraped the money together to do so this summer along with some other countries. Until the 21st I will be travelling abouts in the land of the rising sun, taking pics as I can....
