Haven't posted in a while due to having to do boring stuff like work, job searching, opening a bank account, etc. I did however really enjoy Nakano Broadway Arcade, so I took another trip to explore. I find this place a lot more interesting than the famed Otome Road - many more otaku & old school toy shops, which I found by accident as I went there looking for the tin toy shop and shop that sells things people forgot on the train, which I read about on the net but couldn't find. :( Still it's the most fun shopping location I've found so far (aside from Harajuku maybe) and it's a short bus ride from home.


I also went with my ex-classmate to see the Howl's Moving Castle-style Ghibli clock in Shiodome - we got there right about noon, when it went off, moving its turrets and waving its arms, with little mechanical people working inside. We also went to Harajuku, where I found a T-shirt with Pedo Bear on it. o_o

Yes, I know, the bear was originally 2ch's Kuma, and it wasn't till later that it became famous as Pedo Bear, but nonetheless, priceless.

I can't get to the books!
