I've been there before, but I realized that I should take pictures and share the awe I feel when I go by.

Found at Shady Lane Antique Mall just south of Terre Haute, Indiana

I've heard Akihabara is a bit of an overpriced tech/gamer tourist trap, and that if you want to actually shop there are neighboring cities that are far cheaper.

Very true. Or you can find a local who can walk you through Akihabara and lead you to the actual good deals. A lot of the storefronts on the main strip will be overpriced, but there are good deals to be found if you wander off the main streets.

I still want to go some day. Even if it is overly expensive, Akiba seems like such a cool town to experience.
