Akiba Guide

 
Akiba Guide
Once you arrive in Akiba you may want to get your bearings by approaching the help desk which has a maid sitting at it.
I'm presuming that she speaks a bit of English due to the amount of tourists in the area. What would you be asking?
"Erm, where can I buy Tenga?"
"Where can I rent those Candy Girls?"
"Need spare Gundam parts."

I'm sure the map legend has a special symbol just for maid cafes for easy spotting on the map.

I agree, it's always nice to take a picture with (cute) maids ^_^

And how are we going to get her agreement? Just ask normally?

If she persuades you to buy a random otaku product in return, I feel you'll win the jackpot!

probably not, since i see microsoft's symbol of power on the tarp behind. it'll be a different story if you ask her "What's Vista?" though...

My my my, after seeing the photo, i think the first question that i'll ask is "You alone? Wanna go for a drink afterwards?" or something. She's seriously gorgeous. If i do get to date her, then a visit to Akiba could wait... (but i'd still want her to wear that costume for the date~~~)

Hope she's still there next month, although she appears to be sponsored by Micro$oft, so I'll take anything she says with a grain of salt.
Maybe I'll ask where to buy the best Linux-compatible hardware and see what happens... ^_^

Ahhh, Danny, you and her were a big help today xD I forgot to print out the map leading to supermodelers and I was walkinjg around and then i saw her and remembered this post! I was like OMG!! *runs up to her* "Umm... do you speak english" and she replies with a "Yes, iIlittle..." and I asked her and she gave me a map, drew arrows leading to the location of supermodelers. Found it about 5 minutes of walking. Hehe. Oh, btw, I just bought a PG strike and a PG skygrasper to go with it. Ummm, I also bought gundam markers and a can of topcoat.... I hope I can bring that can back to Australia with me =S Are there any places where I can order topcoat online if I can't bring the can I have back to Australia?
