Den Den Town (Electronic District of Osaka)

Today I went to the area of Osaka where all the geeks go to buy all sorts of anime media, toys, figures, and more. It reminded my a lot of Akiba in Tokyo. I got quite excited when I saw stands for the new pokemon game which comes out on the 18th of September :)

The shops in this district are so crowded, and there is barely any room to walk between the stacks of japanese goods, especially with my not so small backpack on I was very careful to not knock down anything.

And there was some of those cool japanese robots for sale but I unfortunately I didnt have enough to make a purchase ;)

Later I stumbled across what seemed to be a free art gallery so I took some snaps of the amazing artwork.

I also found a YuGiOh card shop which was completely full of... guess what? YuGiOh cards of course. Haha I had a great time looking through each and every card trying to spot a gem.

The 3 Egyptian God cards going for 90, 60, and 90 pounds each respectively. Its the first time I have ever seen the genuine article!!!!

I couldnt help myself but to spend some of my cash on them. Unfortunately there was only a few english ones but I settled for the japanese versions of the better cards. What you see below only cost 10 pounds :)

I stayed in a youth hostel again tonight (the same one as last night) and I will be staying here tommorow night aswell since I have an abundance of people willing to host me. The last picture is ok me in my bath robes about to join the rest of the japanese men in a japanese style spa bath.
