During my week-long vacation in Japan, I went to Akihabara twice to play video games in game centers (mostly HEY and GiGO), visit junk parts shops, secondhand PC shops, and have ramen and Kanazawa curry. My university campus is 10 min bicycle ride away from Akihabara, and I used to come to this area often during my university days to play Time Crisis 3 and Virtue Fighter 5 and buy some electronics DIY parts from Akizuki. Come back to Akihabara gives me a nostalgic feeling, and especially after staying abroad for several years, some admiration for the fact that those small parts/secondhand shops, game centers, and everything else that makes Akihabara so unique are still there.
