An Old Picture from a Maid Cafe
A few days before he left Kyoto, Aaron went with me to Osaka, where we wandered around dendentoun (literally "electric electric [town]"). We also stopped at a maid cafe, as we didn't have enough time for our alternate plans.
They didn't want you to take pictures, because they wanted to charge you $8 a shot for them, but I managed to piece together a couple that we took and got this:
Which looks a lot like a random room, but frilly. The maids were all noobs and not very good, and I think that's pretty normal if you go at the start of summer. It's the only time I've been, but I'll make sure to go near the end of summer next time, if I feel the need to blow another $20-40 to talk to 16-year-old high-schoolers in maid outfits.
Alternately, my university has a high school stuck on the back of it, so...

Heck, a 'no pictures' rule just makes it that much more of a challenge. I have a full set of the inside of a restored old 1800s house that they spent the whole tour telling us we couldn't take. Should have watched their grammar a tad better, because apparently I could take pictures just fine, with or without their permission.
LOL...somehow that doesn't surprise me a bit, Komitadjie. Although, it didn't surprise me that Will had some pictures from this place, too. Heheh.
