A couple of weekends ago I went downtown to Funan DigitaLife Mall, billed as "Asia's leading IT shopping mall", for the first time. I had to pick something up at John 3:16 Photo Supplies. Yes, that is the actual name of the shop but more about that later. The store was crammed with people so I decided to go have a cup of coffee and wait for the crowd to subside. I ended up in Cawaii Koohii Maid Cafe. For those of my readers who do not know Japanese, cawaii means cute and koohii is coffee. The waitstaff are all young women dressed in little french maid costumes. Photography is not allowed but it is possible to pay to have a picture taken with the 'maids'. I have attached a photo from their website.
When I finished my coffee, I went back to John 3:16 Photo Supplies. It was still packed with people but there was an available chair against the wall next to someone else who looked like she was waiting. For those of my readers unfamiliar with the New Testament of the Bible, chapter 3, verse 16 of the Gospel of John is, according to Wikipedia "one of the most widely quoted verses from the Christian Bible and has been called the most famous Bible verse." Mixing business with religion has not hurt this enterprise one bit. In fact, the photography shop across the aisle from John 3:16 was empty. When I commented to Samuel Gan that they must be doing something right, he just smiled and said "Praise the lord!" www.john316photo.com
