Maid cafés



Oh man, maid cafés are weird. Basically, the deal is, it's just like a regular café but all of the waitresses are young women dressed in over-the-top maid outfits and they buzz around, chatting and playing boardgames with you. Yup. I'm sure it says something profound about the Japanese psyche etc. etc. but I was more miffed at being charged a tenner for a cup of tea.

Happily, though, it's not just pervy men that go - about a third of customers are ladies. Although, that's still two thirds pervy men... Anyway, since we were in Akihabara, the home of the maid café, we thought we'd check one out.

On a sidenote, our waitress totally kicked our arses at Uno.
