/j/ - Every so often i find myself exploring places I'll never be able to visit in real life through Google Maps and Street View. One of them being Japan. I know there's a common sentiment that Akiba is not what it used to be but I'm still amazed every time I pass by its streets, even if virtually.

No money. I live in a third world country where not only is it hard to find a job but also expensive to live in general. There are also no direct flights from here to Japan.

Third world countries have low cost of living usually so no idea what country you are in.
