Akihabara 秋葉原- Town of Electronic Devices

Akihabara is best-known as one of the largest shopping areas on Earth for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods, including new and used items.

The electronics stuff sold here, many of them you cannot find in Malaysia. For
notebooks and PC, most of them using Japanese OS. Price wise, after converted to RM, some items might be the same, some might be cheaper.


The roads will be closed for the pedestrians during weekends. There are many otaku gather here every weekends and there are many cost-play in Akihabara. During my trip to purchase my notebook, I noticed there are many weird people in weird costumes. Also, there are young people singing on the streets and they attract many otaku to dance and sing along with them . The most interesting thing might be there are many girls dressed in Maid costumes, there are Maido Cafe where you can play games with those Maido (-the clean one like Cloth Scissors Stone).
Otaku (おたく or オタク(ヲタク) is a derisive Japanese term used to
refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime and
manga.
