Hi again.

I got the dates mixed up in yesterday's entry and yes, today is the 21st! Got it right this time.

So Yifen and I went to find the Sophia campus today and it was pretty grim, to say the least. The campus I mean, not the journey. The Melbourne campus is so much more chio-er. We walked and we walked, and took the train back to Akiba, short for Akihabara. Otaku hometurf.

Yifen loves her manga, so we spent awhile looking through manga and doujinshi and what not at various shops. Tried to find an electronic dictionary but decided to wait till class has started to determine to the extent to which I would use one. Friggin' expensive okay, and I don't have much money with me at this point of time.

Oh before that, we had an awesome lunch back at Warabi, near the library. Okay next.

I felt super out of place at the interior of many of the Akiba stores. I mean, I don't really watch this sort of anime; I only used to watch the mainstream ones. I don't read manga. I don't read doujinshi. I don't collect figurines. I don't MAKE figurines (coughshyhhorng&justincough). And so on and so forth. But yeah, I was pretty much there as a fascinated spectator. At one point, we entered the wrong section twice, which was meant for the guys. And yes, there were plenty of untrendy bespectacled men but there were many "normal" youths as well.

So Yifen bought her manga and doujinshi and I found some cheap CDs on sale. I bought 4 under 1000yen. It's a steal yo.

Took the train back and walked home as usual. Meh if only they could send cars to pick girls up who return home late at night or something. Okay not necessarily late at night, but when the sky is already dark.

Tomorrow is Asakusa day!

Actually my entries sound damn sien hor.
