Hello Akiba!
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 10 September 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
There are many bizarre sights in Akihabara.... And there are lots of bizarre people watching the bizarre sights. There are also some people who watch the bizarre people watching the bizarre sights. I was one of them. The third category, not the other two.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

That doll headed dancer is fascinating! I think I'd be staring at her for hours!

@Dave MacIntyre: Yeah... she had that effect. These are about all the moves in her routine though. Very surreal.

A little odd...but yes hard not to just watch for hours I am sure.

So next time I go, I'll be sure to watch the people watching the bizarre people watching the bizarre sights. That'll teach 'em!
