I will buy on ebay

Cute ad, "John Lewis's Shadows".

I love this, Football plans .

I mentioned Akihabara started a free tour service for foreign people. This is the movie of the tour.

Doshisha University Academic Repository shows some pages of the "Sketches of Japanese manners and customs" (J.M.W. Silver). The book was publised in 1867 and you can read some pages in Google Book Search too. It's interesting. Check them out. And this is a Tokyo Univ collection of old ads from newspapers. I like tthis one. Good smile.

Yahoo Japan and eBay have started the site "Sekaimon." I can buy items on eBay from Japan with my Yahoo ID. Yeah! And also eBay customers in the U.S. will get a channel to buy stuff from the Yahoo Japan site by the middle of next year!! Unfortunately "Sekaimon" is too crowded and I can't access. I will check it later, to see which item is good to buy even if we pay tax, a high delivery charge, etc. From now, Japanese will buy your item :-).

Hi there, if you visit Tokyo, please try the Akiba tour, it looks nice.
And if they have American football plan, I think it will be close to Basket ball :-)

Loved the Football Plans page. Too bad they forgot the American Plan, which would be to erase all the lines and redraw them as a gridiron for American Football. Americans, unfortunately, just don't understand soccer.

Hello Mari, thanks to your previous post about Akiba Tour, I took it when I was in Tokyo, past August. I loved it. Mainly the robots shop. Also the guide girl was very nice ;) and kind, together with all other people.
Thank you Mari for having let me found that tour! Even if I post too few comments :( I always read your blog through RSS feed.
Thanks!

I enjoyed that Akihabara tour video. My wife and I will definitely have to take the tour when we finally visit. If we're not careful, though, we might end up spending all of our time in Akihabara!
