Oh My Gadge!

The Land of the Rising Sun. Not only known for its rich culture, or the unparalleled scenic spots , Japan is also renowned for the high quality and innovative electronic devices. From a small specialized devices to gigantic machines, Japanese technology has earned a good reputation to masses around the world. During my stay in Yokohama AOTS Institute, my sensei＊ told me that if I plan to buy a gadget, I should go to Akihabara ( Japan's largest electronic shopping center) `coz they slash the price upto 50%. Unfortunately, the place where I am situated now is very far from that place. It takes 6 long hours of travel by Shinkansen* from Osaka to Tokyo. And the fare rate is very expensive. Forth and back would cost around 30,000 Yen.

Good thing Osaka has Nipponbashi, another town for electronics and gizmo. Almost everything is offered at reasonable prices from weird stuffs (like electronic cigarette) to practical items. If you cannot understand the Japanese` Kanji writings (like me) , make sure you buy stuffs that has an English manual and/or has an English setting. For temporary residents (like me again hehehe) who plans to bring electronic items into their own country, it is very important to check how much voltage is required in the device, otherwise you have to use an AVR or transformer. Japanese residential house service type is only 110 Volts .

I go there once in a while. To shop. To meet friends. To unwind. Let me take you to where I had been. The Nipponbashi.

From Izumi Chou station, I have to pay 620 Yen for my train ticket heading to Namba City, where Nipponbashi is located.

Gotta go!

The Nipponbashi.

I was an Ultraman fanatic when I was a kid.

I went to the Ultraman Shop to buy my nephew a toy.

What do you think this store is selling? Oops! For adults only hehehe...I was prohibited to get inside because I`m only 17 hahahahaha joke!

If you`re a type who keeps ahead of the crowd in terms of gadgets, buy this supercalifragilistic expialidocious mobile phones hehehehe...

I love playing guitar.

Hope you enjoyed the short trip with me hehehehe...I also want to share with you my precious things that I bought at Nipponbashi. Take a look hehehehe...
