Dead Sea Scrolls - Jerusalem

In Jerusalem at the Israel Museum you can find the beautiful hall of the Dead Sea Scrolls! These 2000 years old scroll mostly in fragments were found between 1947 and 1956. The first scrolls were found by a beduin and then over 950 scrolls have been found around the caves in Qumran near the Dead Sea. These fragments have been but together to about 850 scrolls and many of them are exposed here. Most of them are written in Hebrew but also in Aramic and Greek. They fall into 3 different categories: biblical, apocryphal and sectarian. Thanks to these scrolls, our knowledge of Jewish society during the Hellenistic and Roman times has greatly increased.
Before you visit the Israel Museum you should check the opening hours as they follow the Jewish calendar and opening times changes a lot.

Maidreamin - Maid Café Akihabara

When you visit Japan you should really visit a Maid Café. This one in Akihabara is really a good example of the Otaku thing. Here you will be served you drinks or light meals by waitresses dressed as French Maids. They will treat the guests as masters or mistresses. It's a great roleplay for Anime or Manga lovers  that can now even be found outside Japan. This all started 2001 in Akihabara. It's open during the day and early evening. Try it, laugh and have fun! Have a cappuccino with Helly Kitty drawn on top of it!
