Short Trip to Akihabara

Bored out of my mind, I decided to head down to Akihabara.

Needed to buy usb cable to connect PSP to my Mac. The PSP also acts like the main memory stick reader for my sony digital camera.
Went out of hotel, headed to the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon station.
Had to switch train to the one heading to Iwamotocho.
Once I got out of the subway, had to walk a bit. Didn't take long to realize where Akihabara is looking at the crowd ahead.

Shosen book tower greets me once I got out of the subway.

So I walked on and came across Yodabashi Akihabara. Big supermall of electronic goods.

Great selection of electronic products and gadgets

My only aim was to get those 2 wires: Firewire to dvcam and USB to psp cable. I found these and bought them.

USB to PSP cable cost 830 yen



Firewire to iLink (dvcam) cable 2070 yen!

The floor space is huge! And they've got more than 6 floors I think. Each floor categorized into different products or gadgets.
Anyway, I didn't want to fight with office workers for space on the train. So I made my way out.
The sky looks dark.

Bought some pastries at Vie de France for (tomorrow's breakfast) and salad for late lunch later when I get back.
Also bought Burger KIng's BK Fish for lunch. Very nice on an empty stomach.

Also bought some sushi from a convenience store for dinner later.
Well, I've finally fixed my video camera to work as a webcam for skype. Looking forward later to video conferencing!
Tomorrow, I'll visit the Imperial Palace Gardens.
