Had been to Akihabara over the weekend..kown as the electric town it has more than 500 electronics goods shops.
Jam packed with shoppers its a "must go" place for anyone visiting Japan, especially gadget freaks :)
Laox is a well known chain of duty free shops selling everything..cameras to souvenirs. Especially good for desi shoppers because they have sales guys who can manage to speak some english. Spent a lot of time and money at Laox..
Akihabara has this shopping festival going on in this festive month. Most shops hand out a "scratch card" ..if your luck is shining and you get to scratch the right card you get to shop for 100000Yen :) adu bittii (my favorite kannada word..means Freeeee)We got some 3 cards at Laox..eagerly scratched away..and guess WHATT??
We won nothing :( I coudnt believe my eyes..NOTHING!!
I was positive that I would win a fundoo camera or something.. :( GRRRRRRR..NOTHING!
Ashith managed to console me..told me ivatthu raahu kethu position sarigilla..we will try again some other day antha.. :) Now I have it all figured out..Will be trying my luck next wednesday.
Ended up buying this awesome camera.. http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/a710.html
