1. Fast food heaven The streets are full of restaurants selling noodles and sushi.

Noodles look like spaghetti and they're served with fried meat, seafood or vegetables.

Sushi is rice served with uncooked fish or vegetables.

The flavors are incredible.

You can even take a class to learn how to prepare your own sushi.

Try the internet comic cafe Manboo, where you can admire thousands of manga comics for sale as well as play all the latest computer games.
18
They rent rooms with sofas where gamers can lie down after long sessions.
19
They even have showers, you'd probably need one after an 8 hour overnight gaming session.

21
It's where all the trendy Japanese teens hang out, so be prepared.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
