My breakfast. We got our breakfast from the convenience store the night before.
Getting our train tickets.
See how complicated their train system is.
That's Takashimaya!
It's even more crowded than our Orchard MRT station.
Ahhhh, peak period!
In the train.
Western Art Museum.
Train from the past. Can you spot the crow?
Zhng bike. Bikes are the cheapest mode of transportation.
Real size sperm whale.

Tickets.
We spent 2 hours in just one building. And there were 5 buildings in total... There's lockers in every building for you to put your bulky belongings and the 100yen deposit is refundable.
Artifacts and more...
Bye bye Museum. We were very worn out after walking in these buildings.
How can I miss out on eating their local ice cream!? In SG you see ah peks on their motorbikes, here you see vans!!
My glorious yam ice cream cone! It's super oiishiii!!! You can feel the texture of yam paste unlike the creamy feel of our local ones.
Fountain.
We had a light snack here.
Lots of kiddy rides behind Dan.
A view taken from inside the tea house.
Cosy intimate ambience.
They have English menu too!
One of Japan's famous street dish - Odenn. Mostly beancurds, seaweed, fishcake and other flour products.
Glutinous rice ball in red bean soup.
These lovely flowers are everywhere!
"I don't know what this is, but it tastes goooood!" - we both heard this from a foreigner. This is a banned drink in SG, after some kids 'act smart' and swallowed the marble in it. Sheesh! This is such a good carbonated drink!!! LOL.
Can see the marble?
Tikam tikam for Hello Kitty.
Spokesman for the carbonated drink.
Dan tried to snap me but what he didn't realise was, the lens cover was not removed.

One big bell.
We submitted our wishes here too.

This guy's bunch of friends were notorious enough to place a couple of kittens on his lap while he was sleeping. All of us onlookers kept laughing away.
"Benzaiten"
Benzaitan Shrine
Stairs stairs stairs! Dan was saying "why do we need to climb so many stairs just to get to temples/shrines?"
The famous Kannon Hall. Chinese call it as 'Guan Yin' too.
Wash your hands, rinse your mouth.
Guess what this is for!
Don't know who drew this.
There was a comic exhibition by one of the famous manga artist. All tickets were sold out!
Scary looking tree caught our attention at Ueno Park, Tokyo. And look at the many signs that do not allow bikes to go through.
A fairly complicated railway system.
Trying hard to find their 100 yen store! And we bought over 50 items!!!!
There you are!

Decided to head out for the night streets as we were super bored staying in the room.
Pachinko!! Not for foreigners.
There were tons of arcades behind this lane. And the UFO catchers were not toys but food! Super big cans of chips/chocolates/biscuits/ice creams!
Our Supper!!! =D Taste the same but fries were not that salty. And I love the sound of paper bags...
