Pandas! Kawaii and karaoke

Time to go to the zoo. Yuki told me, I'd propbably spend about an hour in here and then I'd have seen it all. Nope. I like zoo's. I've spent a liiiittle bit more time in here. It was quite a big zoo actually. Though it was really hard to take pictures, as most of the animals were behind windows, or inside dark spaces.

After the zoo, I went to do something crazy. I went to a maid cafe! There's only one word that can describe this place: "Kawaii". That's the Japanese word for "Cute", but cute doesn't cut it. It's Japanese cuteness. That's a whole different level of cuteness. I got in there and this super cute girl comes up to me and asks if it's my first time here as they had special deals for first-timers.
I took the all-in package. This means food, drink, dessert, present, photo and a song. But before that I received this animal headband and had to put it on. I received a drink and this girl was making cat noises as she gave it to me. And urged me to follow in her example. Strange thing is: you'll do it. I'm not sure why, guess I'm a real sucker for cuteness. Or maybe it's just.. I dunno. I've seen dudes inside, looking like real badasses. And they were going along with it as well. 
Anyway, even the food was cute! I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside, so I brought a flyer! But I got this hamburger in the shape of a teddy bear and a sorbet with bunny ears. The super cute maid was gone after a while, but there were still others in there and one of them sang a song for me. Something something maybe, by AKB48. I chose that one as AKB48 is the only thing that I had heard of before. They kept calling me "Master" too. Atleast that's what I think they were saying. Or what I want it to be anyway. When I got out, I paid way too much money and received a few more gifts. I think they liked me ;)

In the evening I thought I'd go and check out this Paper Moon bar. It was a bit remote and I would never have found it if it weren't for Michael (The Australian dude from yesterday). The place didn't really stand out, but when I opened the door, I knew I was at the right place.
I found myself in a small pub, with a karaoke set in the back. There were a couple of people inside and none of them could speak English, except for a few words.
This woman walked up to me and looked a bit confused. Probably thought I was lost, or maybe it's because I wasn't an old Japanese dude. But when I told her I was here for the karaoke, she lightened up and gave me a beer and a karaoke tablet.
Like I said, the people in here weren't that well versed in English, so they actually only sang Japanese songs for most of the evening. But they really loved it when I took the stage several times! I started off with a classic Bon Jovi song: "Shot through the heart". Nope, that's not "You give love a bad name", but you probably knew that already, right? I Did not. So I sang this song I had never heard before as my debut for a bunch of old Japanese people. And they loved it! This was the greatest audience ever! I got an applause every time I paused and when the song was finished.. a standing ovation!
I loved it, so I got up to the stage several times more. Because of this audience, I thought it better to not sing any hardrock or metal, so I tried a lot of old classics. Songs they might know. More Bon Jovi, Guns 'n Roses, Twisted Sister and so on.
Later in the evening, a man arrived who had traveled a bit and he was the first I could actually talk with. He invited me over towards their table and we talked for a bit. He told me this type of bar was called "Snack". Weird name. I asked him if I wrote that correctly.. and I did! So, we planned to sing a few songs together at this snackbar named the Paper Moon. Elton John and Eric Clapton. But he had no more energy after one song, so I just went solo afterwards.

Before I got to that table, while I was just sitting at the bar. One of the Japanese women told me I had a Babyface. 
The nerve! Well.. someone saying I have a Babyface, not that weird. Though it kinda is, when you’re talking to a woman who looks at least 20 years younger than she should. 
I mean, she’s probably in her 50s and looked like 20. Pretty cute, really..  
Why’d I guess she was 50? 
When you looked closely, you could see she was a bit older.. Saw some wrinkles.. but probably.. it’s because of the country. there were only old people! 
The one who looked the youngest, was retired! So yeah, I’m guessing she was old. And not in her twenties.
