Akihabara -- or, Electric Town

Two years ago, we spent a happy day wandering around the consumer electronics havens of Akihabara, buying Sony headphones, bonkers video-game music, and reissues of classic games like Donkey Kong. Unfortunately, we were unable to bring back the fab toilets that were on offer, useful though a heated seat and white noise generator would be in our somewhat chilly (and small) flat. We also had great tempura in a tiny restaurant when desperation drove us to finally work up the courage to go in and order. Good times.
