Overcast made way for Clear today. The sun is out and the weather is grand. It’s been awhile actually - with tsuyu (rainy season) having come around, I’ve seen more gray then blue for awhile now.

This morning I am at Necca again checking my email. Am meeting Nanae to catch up and chit chat before I leave for Bangkok tomorrow morning.

This trip has been a fast one. I have a rare moment to write down all my thoughts about this time in Japan. One year (slightly cheated by a trip for two weeks during Christmas/New Year’s). I’ll definitely write more about this once I return home.

I arrived at Akihabara a little early this morning, so I walked around. One street had a full-on line of (mostly) males, presumably for some game release or what not. I walked up to someone who wasn’t in line and asked him, in Japanese of course, what was going on.

“They’re in line for a game.”
“Oh? For…”
“Ero-game,” he said, referring to an erotic, or adult themed game. He let out a small, modest chuckle. “Zenbuu otaku,” he continued, making a wide gesture to explain that everyone in line was an otaku just waiting for their loot.

Such is Akihabara sometimes. I took a picture of the line, but it wasn’t very interesting.
