De Racing Miku Akihabara Exhibition:
The journey continues to one of the well known attractions in Japan, The unicorn gundam statue. Every once in a while the giant robot moves with sound effects, a real sight to see. (WHat interval we don’t know, but we got lucky when we got there). Next up was the shopping center next to the gundam which had a ROund 1 and a rooftop skatepark, which had a great view because of the height of the building. Next we went to Joypolis, a SEGA branded attraction centre, we expected it to just be gift shops but indeed it was a giant building with lots a attractions to take part in. They had a system with tickets, you buy one at entree, and then you top it up to pay for the fares. There was also the option to get a free for all ticket, which was pricey but meant that you could do all the rides without extra fees. The centre was actually not crowded at all, no problem at all because we had no lines to get in the rides. The one we found the most awesome was the Initial D real car racing machine. We play the game at home but now we had the opportunity to play it sitting in a real car form the game itself.
