Maid Cafe at Xinmending Taipei Taiwan

And you thought maid cafes only existed in Japan. Fret not, Taiwan is ready to copy Japanese culture at the click of a button, so to speak!

We stumbled upon this Taiwanese maid cafe while strolling Taipei, . They cater to the Japanese otaku culture that is (news to me) also popular in Taiwan. There were many otakus present, and even a pair Japanese otakuettes (I just made that word up) sitting in the cafe with their whisperings about this and that cosplay magazine, even complete with their awesome teeth.

There aren't that many pictures of the maid cafe because after we took this one, the lovely maids told us in their soft, high-pitched, overly-cutesy voice that pictures aren't allowed using a cutesy language to whose words I did not pay much attention (I think it was Mandarin).
