I've visited Japan early June when I'm on my way back from USA. It's a good experience to visit Japan to see the land of the rising sun. Overall, the rhythm of life over here is way much faster as compare to USA, and Malaysia. One could see that almost every street and every place near Tokyo is full with people walking very fast. The people here are very helpful, even though they don't talk good English or don't even know how to speak English at all. I'm amazed with their innovative in using technology to help them to improve their daily living - order foot in the restaurant through the use of vending machine, cohesive subway system, precision in doing things that they do, and subway ticketing machine that could receive few coins at the same time.
Managed to visit Akihabara as well. In deed that it is as describe by a lot of people, that it's a place full with electronic items and animation related items (Gunpla :D). I managed to pick up a Masterpiece Brave Exkaiser (at 50% discount). It's not as tall as I would expect it to be, but it's really nice in the aspect of the transformation, articulation, and playability. Could see that Takara has put in a lot of effort in coming out with this Masterpiece (even though it's made in China).
