I visited Tokyo recently, and had an experience that was so ridiculous it felt like a bad dream~ I ended up in a mall in Ikebukuro that had devoted almost a whole floor to JUST gachapon machines, aisles and aisles of them, literally hundred of machines. It was like a minotaurs' labyrinth of the things, and I was totally awestruck, they had so many cute and weird toys to choose from!! I saw one I definitely wanted to get and took out my wallet only to find that for some reason I had ZERO cash or coins on me. So after searching the mall for a while I found an ATM and for the first time on my trip it wouldn't read my card. I watched as other people successfully drew money but I wasn't able to. I went back to the gacha machines defeated, it was just like a stress dream where something is just out of reach but you can't quite get to it.
Anyway, I left empty handed but found a similar place later in my trip (and my card worked fine at other ATMs) so all's well that ends well ig, but I still want to go back to gachapon heaven someday...!
