Taking a walk in Akihaba and big accident

Today I went to Akihabara city. Akihabara is famous shopping area for electric and animation goods. I looked for some computer goods and I took a walk. Today I could walk the street, because of temporarily closed to vehicle traffic.


I saw many cosplayer and people took photo them. Do you know cosplay? People who like animation dress as if animation character... Akihabara is famous place to meet cosplayer...

and... when I was walking street, suddenly I heard big sound like a traffic accident from behind. People gathered to see accident, but they run away from this place. I don't know why, but after I watched the news and I found it is big news in Japan.
7 killed, 10 injured in Akihabara stabbing spree (English, Japantimes)

I saw this news site and a picture in this website, I understand that I know them!. Injured old man, he is a policeman on patrol and I saw him and took photo him. (please compare website injured picture and my picture waking street) I have never met such a accident, so I'm surprised to hear the news.

Today I bought palm-reading book. Japanese book store have a service that covered book with paper. My hobby is to see palm.




Mata-ne!!
