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?

That's probably the questions you ask Danny HAHAHAHAHAHA, she surely must speak English with so many tourists going there.

If she persuades you to buy a random otaku product in return, I feel you'll win the jackpot!
Or maybe not. ^^

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?
