Today we went to meet a fellow exchange student from Melbourne (sometimes I wonder if we even left the state haha) in everyone's favourite Otaku hub, Akihabara! As soon as we step out of the station we spot the AKB48 cafe with a lengthy queue outside the entrance.


There are maids EVERYWHERE! In all different kinds of costumes and colours handing out leaflets for their cafe. Plus they're all extremely cute so it's hard to choose one. Think I'll do a bit of research first.
We found some interesting albeit somewhat disturbing shops in this area. Eventually we came across a purikura with rentable cosplay outfits. Of course we had to try! :)
