Today was the first day of my training. We went over some policy guidelines, what to expect in a Japanese classroom, what to do and what not to do when at school and when meeting the principal (there are a lot of subtle points of social etiquette that a foreigner like myself could have missed), and so on. That took most of the day, but I had some free time afterward to visit Akihabara, the "Electric Town."

Akihabara is a dangerous place for those with spending habits. You could easily stop into one of the many stores there and drop about $80 in a quick purchase. There are simply way too many fun-looking toys to buy and signs to see. It's like being a kid again. Here's
one minute of Akihabara:
For your additional enjoyment, here's a taste of a Japanese subway:
First!
ReplyDeleteI especially like your look of angst at the end of the subway video. Did you buy anything?!?
I bought a tie. :D
ReplyDeleteI like your look of pure glee at the end of the fist vid. Hilarious! Also, I'm extremely jealous, the trip looks like a blast.
