Nakano report, Canadian Embassy.

I had some Extra time after going to renew my passport today and went to Nakano, Spoke to a cute nekomimi maid for an hour, in Japanese, not sure how I accomplished that, and then raided Nakano Broadway.

Interestingly, there's a new Mandarake shop.
It's not really interesting though, but the entrance looks super cool.

It's kind of like the 4th floor old toy museum, this one is kind of a museum for old plastic model kit.

I found a goldmine of nice ToAru stuff in one of the Mandarake, and that super cute Asuka's figure.
I haven't bought an Evangelion figure in a long time, but that one was too cute. And cheap...
Now I'll have to hunt down the Rei that goes with it.

And I'm adding 1 more Misaka Imouto to my strap/keychain collection.

I posted the collection yesterday on G+ but I'll post it here as well.

While I'm actually writing something on my blog, I guess I could talk about the Canadian embassy in Japan, since I had to go there today to renew my passport.
It's the second embassy I go to in my life, the first one being the Japanese embassy in Montreal.
The Canadian one in Tokyo is super huge compared to that little room in the middle of a big complex building in Montreal.
The Canadian Embassy is called Place Canada, and is a super huge building. I didn't visit any of it though, just went straight to the consulate place. Where I was told, I can only submit passport renewals in the mornings...
That's super stupid, fortunately, the girl let me submit it anyway, so all was fine in the end.
Passport renewal is super easy, hand the papers, pay, and wait 2 weeks (or so), no real hassle so that was fine.

Pretty awesome day in Akihabara.

I'm kinda busy lately, lots of work, and I'm also filling my time off with a lot of stuff to do, and meeting a lot of people...
The end of my life in Japan might be over soon, so I'm trying to make the best of the time I have left!

That being said, 2 week-ends ago I went to Akihabara with some (new) friends.
We went to a maid cafe called @HomeCafe, it was really nice, their service right now if better than MaiDreamin's but I still thing the outfits of MaiDreamin looks cuter.

I think the best thing about this maid cafe is that they still play games with people! I got my ass kicked by a maid at Crocodile Dentist.

I ordered some latte on whcih the maid made a nice drawing of Misaka Mikoto and a puppy curry.

After that we went to a figure shop I had forgotten about since my previous travels to japan, they have pretty nice and cheap used figures and goods, I got myself an Ayano figure and a really nice To Aru Kagaku no Railgun Pocket watch, both for the for 1000 yen!

After that we went to what some of my friends already told me is the best karaoke in Akihabara. And yeah the rooms are pretty damn awesome.
And at this points come the moment I should say that my friends I went to Akihabara that day are Iron-Chino and まいなすいょん from IRON ATTACK! and　龍５１５０ from 5150.
Two of them are singers, so I felt pretty embarrassed to go there with my horrible voice lol.
But we had a great time, it was really really fun.
I actually got to sing Rain in Vain as a duet with Chino, it was a pretty awesome moment!

After that we finished the evening in a cafe, talking randomly about random stuff. It was a pretty awesome day.

When they left I went to meet another friend with whom I planned a trip to Nara and Osaka for next week-end in front of a ... soso-steak.

My birthday in a Maid Cafe and Ueno park

All Maid Cafe are not born equal. I know I've said this last time I came to japan, but it was 2 maid cafe of 2 different companies. Yesterday, for my birthday, we went back to the maid cafe I went, and loved, last time I came to Japan. It's the same company than the one we went 3 days ago, maidreamin. But just a different location. But it's a world of differences! This one was fun and SO CUTE.
I really got my Moe overload. The girls actually paid attention to us, we ate a big curry, which was actually good,  the curry (for 2) also extended our stay by 30 minutes and made us go to the stage to take a picture with all the maids. We also got to see a maid dance and a maid song. This is the kind of Maid Cafe I love!
Oh and since it was my birthday, I got on stage again, everyone wished me happy birthday, and I got a "birthday cake".

Tout les Maid Cafe ne sont pas née égale. Je sait que je l'ai déjà dit la dernière foi que je suis venu au Japon, mais c'étais pour 2 différente compagnie de Maid café. Cette foi c'est pour 2 café de la même Compagnie (maidreamin). Les 2 sont situé a Akihabara, mais a 2 coin de rue différent, pourtant c’est un monde de différence! Celui ci étais tellement amusant et TELLEMENT CUTE!!! J'ai vraiment eu ma Moe Overload. Les filles portait attention a nous, on a manger un tres gros curry (pour 2) qui étais très bon et qui a étendu notre temps au Maid café de 30 minutes. En plus de cette extension, le fait d'avoir commander ce curry nous a aussi fait monté sur la scène avec toute les Maid pour prendre une photo.
Nous avons aussi eu le droit a une danse et a une chanson par des Maid. CA c’est le genre de Maid Café que j'aime!
Oh et puisque c'étais ma fête, j'ai remonté sur la scène encore, pour que tout le monde me souhaite bonne fête et j'ai eu le droit a un "Gâteau de fête".

After that, since it was sunny, we decided to go to Ueno park. Since it's Golden Week there was a lot of people there. Lots of things were in repair mode, but we still got to see a couple shrines and most of the park.
Near the shrine at the center of the lake, there was some kind of Matsuri, but it started raining when we got there.
We went to the other side of the lake, where there was a small outside theater, to cover ourselves. The music was really bad but it was interesting... I guess.
After that we came back to Akiba and did some more shopping.

Apres cela, puisqu’il faisait beau nous sommes allé a Ueno park. Puisque c’est la Golden Week en ce moment, il y avais beaucoup de monde. Plusieurs choses étais en réparation mais on a quand même pu voir quelques temple et la plupart du parc.
Pres du temple au milieu du lac, il  avais un genre de Matsuri, mais il a commencer a mouillé quand nus sommes arrivé a cet endroit.
Nous somme alé dans un petit amphithéâtre extérieur couvert pour nous réfugier de la pluie, la musique étais mauvaise mais c'étais... un peu intéressant je suppose.

Nous somme ensuite revenu a Akiba ou nous avons continuer a magasiner un peu.
