Day 53: Shopping with Eileen
Tuesday, May 5, 2009

11:00am: I woke up. Eileen says to meet at Akihabara station and one of her texts says 4pm. Ryan texted me back that he has nothing to do. He probably feels lonely like the way I did, so I asked Eileen if I can ask Ryan to come. Of course, she says sure. I forward much of Eileen’s text to Ryan. Ryan texted that he wants to hang out now, so I said ok.

1:00pm: It was raining. I left my house and went on the train. That’s when I found out that Eileen made a mistake. We were suppose to meet at 1pm! I texted saying that I’m still on the train heading to Akihabara.

2:00pm: Ryan and I meet up at Akihabara station and I ate a sandwich and some of Ryan’s chocolate drink.

2:30pm: Ryan and I meet up with Eileen, Leina, and Kyle. We can’t go to Ghibli because we need to have a reservation. That’s okay because I already went there during my high school trip to Japan. We decide to go to a “maid café.” A maid café is where the café is full of waitresses that dress in Harajuku outfits. We weren’t allowed to take pictures of the “maids.” The maids were a bit weird… Females pay $3 and Males pay $5 to get in. Then, we buy a drink (mine was $6).

3:30pm: We left. We went to Harajuku and it was packed! And since it was raining, everyone had those annoying umbrellas. We could barely walk, so we decide to just eat crepes and very little walking and then we went to do 1 hour karaoke.

6:50pm: Leina needed to meet up with her friend, so she left. Ryan, Kyle, Eileen, and I went to eat okonomiyaki. It was cool watching and sort of making my own dinner. And I don’t like cooking!

9:30pm: We all head home.

10:30pm: I made it home. I had such a happy day. My loneliness is getting cured. I surfed the internet.

5:00am: I went to sleep.

Too much umbrellas. I don't even know why these people even go through this. We decided to go back out.

Kyle's Pink Umbrella
We told him to buy a pink one and we laughed when he did. He says he's not gay.

Karaoke for 1 hour
This was a very pretty place!! I want to find this place again.

Why bother with models?
He must be ugly.
