“Travel to Tokyo and visit Akihabara, Otaku Heaven”

As an otaku, a trip to Japan has been on my dream list forever. So, when I booked tickets to travel to Tokyo, Japan through XcelTrip, I already knew what I’d want to visit first- Akihabara, the anime district of Tokyo.


After taking the day off after landing, I visited Akihabara on Sunday (Visiting the district on Sunday and public holidays is most advisable as the roads will be closed off to vehicles). The entire district is filled with a surreal air. This left me mesmerised and speechless for a while, much to the amusement of my friends.
The electronic lights of the signs, the anime figurines and cosplayers, all leave you feeling like you’ve entered an anime world yourself.
While you are in Akihabara, a must visit will be the numerous anime, manga and gaming stores. Walking into numerous anime stores, seeing figurines and plushies of my favourite anime characters and not to mention the excessive splurging I indulged in, was one of my best experiences. Another major attraction is the anime themed cafes and restaurants spread throughout the city. Visiting Chuo Dori street and seeing both sides of the street lined with shops for every possible Japanese culture is a true treat.
The J-Pop concerts in the districts leave you feeling completely exhilarated and with a sore throat after all the chanting and cheering. As a fan of the girl group, AKB48, seeing the cafes and theatres on based them and then their live concert, left me completely speechless. As a matter of fact, almost everything in the district left me speechless and left me filled to the brim with otaku happiness.
Another thing that you shouldn’t miss, is the Real-life Mario Kart races. I don’t think I need to say much more on this matter.
The best thing about my visit to Akihabara district, was meeting all the other otakus out there. I managed to meet quite a few other enthusiasts and managed to make a few friends.
To sum it up, I spent a day in actual otaku heaven. So, to all my fellow otakus, book your tickets now to travel to Tokyo and make your way to Akihabara district.

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles. Arenal Volcano The Arenal Volcano National Park is found in the rugged...

Cryptocurrency travel to Chinese culture: Visit Palace Museum and Temple of Heaven

Image
Description of the sights of China brings us to the idea of an encyclopedia. In this country there are so many remarkable places that are interesting for tourists that talking about a short list is even somehow offensive. The names of the sights of China include museums and temples, both Buddhist and other religions and faiths. These are whole streets and cities, areas and natural parks, mountains and bays, rivers and deserts. These are gorges and rocks of an unusual shape, these are temples hanging on the rocks, and bridges of a futuristic look. The Palace Museum Housing over 690,000 artefacts, the National Palace Museum in Taipei is a treasure trove of Chinese culture. Evacuated from the Forbidden City to Taiwan in 1948 amidst the panic of the Chinese Civil War, the collection provides an in-depth view of the beauty of Chinese history from the Neolithic to the modern era.
