Akihabara, Electric Town:
We went to a "Meido Cafe". Super cute Japanese girls who talk like adult babies serve you hot chocolates or egg omelettes on rice, and do magic spells that make everything yummy and cute.

Photos are not allowed (pay extra), so we did Marieke proud and took one from their poster.
