Me too !
We lived in Roppongi/Akasaka (above Suntory Hall, next to the ANA). The frequent trips to Akihabara, Tokyu Hands in Shibuya, riding the pushy around the palace, all the naughty girl brochures everywhere at night, the beautiful food, the free tissues at every turn......
Tokyu Hands is an amazing shop, you can have curtains made for your windows, and while you wait you can go to another department and buy a lathe, a model airplane, or a pair of shoes.
An amazing place, must go back.
Camera-wise, there's also Yodobashi Camera, and the huge Laox store in Akihabara. Laox is mainly computer stuff, but they've got a small camera section that is bigger than anything here in Oz.
Cheers,
Jason.
