went to ueno park today again! but with a different group. guess i've become the guide for a while. before that we went to eat at yoshinoya. heard it's actually quite similar to singapore's, except the rice. but the seating is very different - you sit around the cashier!

the scenery is actually a little different from the day before, cos quite a lot of sakuras have dropped and the greens are pretty visible. so it was LUCKY i went yesterday to see the full bloom!
some more sakuras photos... and a rose-like flower which kelvin says is called a camellia. (photo courtesy of min geong!)

in a pool of fallen petals...
Photobucket
trying to capture the fallen sakuras, but to no avail...
Photobucket
lots of people gathered underneath the trees.

and this was taken the day before, but it's quite amazing how people in suits are 'chopping' the place :D
Photobucket
lovely lake!

Photobucket
the birds were like resting on a pole each, kinda cute :D
Photobucket
a crane washing up
Photobucket
ducks bathing in the petals too...
Photobucket
boats for rental for around 600yen for 3 person.

went to a place full of food, but sort of different from the one before and has a bazaar/flee market sort of feeling that surrounds the lake.
Photobucket
here's an uncle selling character taiyaki! kawaii!
Photobucket
some stalls.
Photobucket
...and a somewhat scary looking performer...
Photobucket
we decided to go macdonald's to rest a bit after ueno. en route, kelvin was amazed by the adult movies sign...
Photobucket
as well as a 'no bicycle, no standing' sign.
Photobucket
and we saw this restaurant selling a loaf's thick of bread desserts! no thicker toast than thee, eh?
Photobucket
i ordered a chocopie from macdonald. it's like a chocolate croissant. they have mcflurrys with caramel, kitkat etc.

then it's to ameyayokochou.
this is a takoyaki shop...
