Japan trip review Akihabara and maid Cafe
10 years ago
We done so many thing during thos 2 weeks, it kind of impossible to descrive everything in one journal, so i decided to split a little, so i hope, i will not be too much boring:)
Akihabara it one of the awsomess place in Tokyo, it the home of the super store Yadobashi-Akiba, mostly a 8 floors super store where more then half of it is dedicated to electronic store... This place is totaly crazy... first, event in a center of Tokyo, the annoncement in the store are made in japaness, english, french, chiness, and probably other language i did not reconise... all the time we was in, we could have lissened the the same modified chrismass song, all and all over again, that was kind of surreal, you can found averything abouth new technologie and gadget... If 4K TV are just starting here, in japan they are everywhere, including the nex generation that will replace the go pro stuff, mini 4k camera couple with a mini tv watch, so you can watch directly what you are recording.
Akihabara is much more then just a big electrinic store, it also the center of the Otakou culture, or just a good place for people who love anime and manga, the streets arond are full of shop where you can anime/manga related item, the arcade are also realy present, we have conted at less 3 arcades with 6 floor, 2 was owned by sega. they also have lot random shop and restorants arond, but one of the most interesting place to visite was the maid cafe...
For people who did not know the concept, maid cafe are a place you can go to take a drink or a meal, the particularity of the place is the waitress who are dressed as a cute maid and act in her role to give you a awsome experience, contrarely as what some people could think, there absolutly nothing sexual about it, it more a "Kawaī" experience... could translate as cute... at your arival in the place , your maid will ring a little bell and shoot in japaness "the master is home" and all the other maids will salut you and say "hello master".
All the concept is about the experience less then the food or the drink them self, like went your order some drink you have the maid do a charm on it, so she say funny word you have to repete after her, it fun and cute... with some other drink, your maid will draw something on the top of it, i ask the maid to draw my own charactor on the top of my "cafe late", and the result was prety good, and i drinked something with Nildia face on it, it was awsome.
You can also chose betwen having a picture or play a game with your favorite maid, we visited the cafe 3 time so i got 2 picture and play 1 tyme, witch was awsome:) Language was not that much a barierre, most of the maid was knowing a little english.
There was at less 2 maid cafe in Akihabara, but we visite the same 3 time:) it was the home maid cafe, here is a promo video, that give a little feeling of the experience, but it nothing like the real thing went the place is full of people and maid everywhere, just that is a show:)
