hey everybody it's your friend Anming here and I spent so much time at grad
school in Japan and in China studying politics that I forgot to enjoy some of
the wonderful things in this city and every time my American friends come I
just don't even know what to show them so here we go we're in Akihabara today
and I'm gonna show you some stuff and learn some stuff myself because I don't
know a lot about anime but me and my boyfriend I'm gonna try our best to
figure it out it'd be better guides when Americans and other friends from other
countries come here we're in Akihabara which is a place I don't come to a lot
because I'm not a nerd I'm not really into anime or manga or any of the
characters I guess I was like in elementary school with Dragon Ball Z and
Pokemon but that's a much now so I'm getting a tour
over here because I have no idea what's around this place
he doesn't know much either
what's the first stop on our tour okay we're going to see anime stuff first
The first stop is anime
I know nothing about this stuff very little maybe more than most Americans
but not nearly enough to be a guide so I'm here to get educated
I'm here to not disappoint American friends again when they come and visit if they want to see
this stuff I got to know where to take them
what the heck is this I'm sure people read it for the good story and good content not for any
other reason what the heck what is this we're in a really weird place right now you want that I don't
want it what would I do with this read it and practice Japanese of course I'm
learning new stuff about manga. I know nothing about manga I've never read a manga in my
entire life and I've lived in Japan for how many years I've watched anime
watched anime movies never read a manga toby is really interested in this
look at that excitement it's just oozing out of him whoever thinks all Japanese
like manga is crazy most don't unless they're kids
look at that excitement
I don't want to crush everyone by saying this but honestly Japanese have a lot
more hobbies than just anime and manga they like music playing instruments they
might even go to like a practice area to play songs and practice with their
friends and start a band and play music from America like the Red Hot Chili
Peppers but you might not be able to do that but you could always play at the
arcade
you made a terrible mistake there's a lot of fun stuff for Americans to do
that you might not have thought of a Japanese arcade is a really good idea in
my opinion and a lot of Japanese people like to come here and just relax but
beware if you play against a Japanese person you're probably gonna lose and I
lose every single time my friends lose every single time it's hopeless
there are some people that are really good at video games especially Pong for whatever reason
Here we are at a maid cafe. this was totally my idea I don't know why I wanted to come here just
because I never have we ordered pink ramen and a drink a pink drink I
see a theme here things are pink and I am a cat everybody in here is a cat it's
great Let's jope that pick ramen tastes good
I'm not sure if the taste has changed because it's pink
probably not it's probably the same it's just a really expensive ramen
Alright yeah
It tastes salty
I'm almost finished with my pink drink
Guys this was expensive
and then we get a picture with the maid
that's gonna make it worth $30 that picture memories we got pictures
that was 30 dollars 30 dollars well spent okay we did that thing we went to a maid cafe
for the first time man well if you're in Akihabara that's something you could do
if you're not into anime and manga like I'm really not so it's something to do
for $30 don't stay too long it could get really expensive man I always have the
best ideas it's always my idea yeah let's go to a
snake cafe let's crawl on the cave gosh
Hey everyone thanks for watching today's video I hope that I can be a better tour guide to my friends
when they come and also a better tour guide to you don't miss the next video
it's a snake cafe in the meantime I have to get back to studying oh my gosh
alright see you next time
