Went to Akihabara the electric city today! Center for electronics for Tokyo that has also become a destination for Manga and Anime fans. Some of these electronics store are like Radio Shack on steroids. I’d say about 90% of what they sold I had no idea what it was for, but still spent some time walking around these shops in amazement. The manga/anime shops had endless aisles and floors of figurines. Impressive! The deeper you went into these stores the more “adult” they became. I didn’t take any pictures beyond certain points and certainly couldn’t post them.
Took a trip to Honda in the afternoon. The motorcycles on display were amazing as was their Formula 1 racer. It was interesting to see the evolution of their motorcycles and other Honda machinery. Didn’t know there were Honda airplanes!
The Asimo demonstration was cool! We got to watch the evolution of all the walking robots that Honda developed, and then got to see Asimo in action. It ran, jumped, hopped on one leg and, and could even speak in sign language! Add a little A.I. and the robot uprising is just around the corner!
