A few more pics,

Yesterday I rode my bicycle through Akihabara, I took a few pictures along the way,

Nihonbashi, or the "Bridge of Japan" (the monk in the left of the picture bowed to me after I took it).

Crossing into Akihabara,

One of the many maids out on the street handing out fliers,

Another maid,

A costume shop,

I would have liked to have taken more pictures, but I was only in Akihabara for a short time, I'll get a few more on my next trip (in 2 weeks or so). If anyone has any requests for pictures of particular places, let me know.

The pictures look great! The colors are vivid and alive. Wish I would go to Japan soon.

Edit: a few pictures of cafes would be great!

I will try to get some pics inside a maid cafe. I probably won't be able to get away with taking pics using my Nikon, but I might be able to get some video on my mini-recorder.

It's kind of hard to get pics of the maids on the streets, they turn around or duck into an alley whenever someone points a camera at them, they don't pose for pics like the cosplayers do at Harajuku. I'll bring a bigger lens next time so I can get some better pics.
