Tales of Nippon: Diciembre 24, December 24th

Akihabara, zona de electronica por exelencia de Japon, tambien buen sitio para econtrar manga, anime y merchandising de todo tipo. Pasamos la mayor parte del dia ahi, recorriendo tiendas de 7 y 8 plantas, comimos en un sitio de comida rapida de gyudon (arroz con carne) y seguimos viendo tiendas.
Despues hubo que dejar de seguir nuestro ameno recorrido, ya que teniamos que ir a una casa de una chica Espanola a cenar. En dicha cena habia gente de distintos paises, mi amigo y yo no conociamos a nadie. Nosotros dos queriamos haber hecho algo distinto esa noche aprovechando el pais en el que estabamos, karaoke o algo, pero no nos quedo mas remedio. Fue una cena sin nada destacable y pasando frio.

En la television no habia nada por la fecha, puesto que la Navidad es una fiesta cristiana, y solo el 1% de la poblacion lo es. Por tanto, la Navidad aqui es algo puramente comercial (regalos, adornos y esas cosas) y superfluo, y es una fecha que sirve de escusa para que las parejas "celebren" juntos sin falta. Ademas, el dia 25 es laboral.

Akihabara, Japan's best place for electronics, also a great place to find manga, anime and merchandising of all sorts. We spent most of our day there, going trought 7 and 8 floor stores, we ate at a gyudon (rice with meat) fast food place, then continued our store cruzade.

We had to stop our merry rute, since we had to go to a Spanish girl's house for dinner. There where people from different countries at the dinner, my friend and I knew nobody. Both of us would have liked to do something different that night, since we where in such a different country, karaoke or something, but we didn't have a choice. It was a dinner with nothing to say about it and a cold night.

There was nothing on Tv for that date, since Christmas is a Cristian holliday, and only 1% of the people are so. So, X-Mas is purely something shallow and comercial, and it's only an excuse for couples to "celebrate" together without fail. Besides, the 25th is a work day.
