Maids!

As some of you may be aware Japan has some rather interesting subcultures varying from the cute to the very weird. However one that Japan is perhaps most famous for is the maid cafes which have costumed women in them who will perform a variety of maid-like acts for you such as serving tea, playing rock/paper/scissors, cleaning your glasses, etc. None of this is done in any sort of suggestive or sexual manner and indeed most of them I've seen are wearing full length skirts or at the most skirts past their knees. I frankly can't understand the obsession some otaku or nerds possess for these cafes and in most large cities there are multitudes of these cafes. However it is getting pretty late here so I'll pontificate on some of the weirdness of Japan later.

Here is a clip of some of these maids:
