Cartoon humans serve tea

Teatime! We nipped into a teashop and were greeted by a human cartoon character dressed as a 19th century maid. She looked about 12, as did her colleagues (one dressed as Strawberry Shortcake). The clientele? At first glance, we just saw tables of lone old men smoking cigarettes. Were they dirty old men getting a kick out of being served by strangely dressed young girls? Maybe. Through the glass partition were tables of teenagers pouring over anime comics the way they do in Japan. A geek cafe. We ordered jasmine tea and I made a sketch of a cartoon milkmaid in the notebook provided on our table. Strange place.
