If you’re an anime lover, if you love technology and are a bit obsessed with some idol groups, then I’d suggest Akihabara is the place you have to visit in Tokyo, Japan. We spent the whole afternoon there and could’ve done more (if not for our tired feet). We started our journey from Tokyo Station, as we were staying nearby (about 10 minutes walk).

Shhh… Time to mute the noise and disconnect?
Many years ago, it was so difficult to meet up with someone without a mobile phone. It was so tiring to have to look through Yellow Pages to find a plumber (I say tiring because that yellow book is seriously heavy!)
