Horns meet world. World meet Britt Plotsky. Britt studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan for a year-long exchange back in the day: September 2012 – August 2013. Ok, maybe not back in the day per se, but luckily for us she documented her entire experience in her blog on tumblr titled ‘Japan Adventures‘ (click the link to discover more of Britt’s adventures!) where she posted pictures and kept her followers updated on her adventures. We’d like to highlight Britt’s 76th day, on which she…well, here, let her tell you:

DAY 76

Was up ‘n at ’em early today to go to the Madoka cafe one last time with a big group of friends.Liz organized the retreat, so she came with her Japanese friend Marina while I brought Ernie and David from the dormitory. Hannah ended up being sick that day and so she couldn’t make it, but I’ll bet she was definitely there in spirit!We met up at 10 AM outside Akihabara Station. Since it was the last weekend of the cafe, and because Madoka is so popular right now, we wanted to make sure we got a space. My experience a couple weekends prior was that if the cafe was filled, you were issued a reservation and a ticket to return at a certain time. My worry was that we wouldn’t be able to get one.Sure enough, the line was long. But, we managed to get a 5-person reservation for an hour in advance!While waiting, everyone headed downstairs to look at merchandise. Some of us bought things, but knowing full well I’d reached my spending limit for the month long ago, I refrained.When we returned, our seat was ready…and it turns out it was the best seat in the house.Our table was closest to Charlotte.

My seat was directly in front of her.

Once again, I ordered the Tiro Finale and the spaghetti. I decided to try and offer some of the cake to Charlotte.

ACK.

And so, we bid farewell to the Madoka cafe (it began on my birthday!!). I have a feeling it will return for the release of the third movie, due out sometime next year…

Afterwards, we bumped around Akiba a bit, ducking into an arcade to take some hilarious purikura pictures. I wish I could post them here, but I don’t have a digital copy of them. 🙁

Liz and Marina had to split off eventually to work on schoolwork, but I stayed with the guys and we returned to Shinjuku for Yoshinoya dinner.
