Akihabara 1995. Constantly working part time back in London enabled me to save enough dosh to buy a ticket to come to Japan once a year. The trips were essential for me to absorb and learn more of the culture and leave me with that horrible feeling of going back to the UK. But that feeling only served as fuel for me to try harder with my Japanese studies.It was around this time when Akihabara started to see the popularity take off for adult PC games starring cute 2D girlies - the beginnings of Akihabara turning into a sacred land for Otaku and Japanese Pop Culture.
