In Akihabara, Korr, Sebastian, and I went to a Maid cafe! We had heard about them before and wanted to visit one since we don’t have them in America. So we went on the search for one.
We found one by the name of Maiddreamin. All the lovely ladies at the cafe were so kind and so adorable! They even complimented Korr's Japanese. We ordered drinks, Korr got strawberry milk and Sebastian and I got apple peach tea. When the drinks came the maids would have us help them put a special charm on the drinks to make them yummier!
Along with the drinks we got souvenirs and a photo with our favorite maid. We ended up somehow getting two souvenirs, I don’t know why, but we originally opted for the keychains with maid uniforms on them, but they also gave us cute animal headbands! I got a bunny, Sebastian got panda ears, and Korr got cat ears. The interior was very cute and pink, very girly. And there was even a garden on the roof that guests could go to. It was an amazing experience.

Last night we stayed at the Khaosan Samurai capsule hotel. It was a great experience, however, a curtain was all the privacy you got, the coil locks don't really serve a purpose unless the zippers on your bags have locks and there was only one toilet in that section of the hotel for women only. (The men's toilet was next to the elevator.)
However, we did have free WiFi Hot-spot smartphones, and the beds were comfy. I would recommend to anyone that is on a budget or in a bind in Japan.
This morning everyone got ready around 8:30 am, we all went to Mister Donut. At the donut shop there was a plethora of donuts with some having hot-dogs and other savory fillings inside of them.
We looked around Asakusa gate (Kaminarimon) and the shopping street.
After we finished, we hopped trains and went to Akihabara.
Dante:
Akihabara was awesome! Right outside the train station, there was a Gundam cafe and an AKB48 cafe. There were so many different shops there! Many different anime and Manga shops, video game merchandise, figurines, and lots of cafes! Tons of arcades too!

There were quite a few Pachinko buildings and places you could do karaoke. After we explored Akihabara, we took trains to meet our Kasukabe host families again.
