From Ueno Station, we walked a few blocks to Ueno Park which is located in central Tokyo. I had a tingling feeling inside of me. I felt like I had really been there when I was 2 or 3 with my parents. We were walking pass Ueno Zoo when Dad asked if we would like to go inside.


Since I have never seen a panda bear before, we decided that it would be a good opportunity to see one. So even though we felt like we were too old for a zoo, we entered and enjoyed every animal we set our eyes on.

Seeing a panda bear for the very first time, I smiled widely as I watched him. He was very playful. Due to the many people who visits him each showtime, he seemed to be used to all the attention already. Playfully cutting the bamboo sticks in half and portraying a happy face made everyone smile and laugh at him. He was a sight to behold.







The mangoes are pretty much sold here for a VERYYY high price, eh??

Near the Yamanote line station, there were a lot of restaurants. We could not easily decide where to eat. But we wanted something with soba and tempura so we chose the restaurant that serves them.


I keep on meeting friends in different places across the globe. I am indeed thankful to God for giving me wonderful companions throughout my trips. I might not have enjoyed it so much without them. Knowing that there is someone to share a particular experience or moment in a foreign country is priceless.

Dad and I had a great time with ate Jonep. However, we had to say goodbye to her that night. Her life in Japan had just begun. When we said our goodbyes, Dad and I went straight back to Ginza to check out the hobby shop and Fujiya building. My blog about Fujiya's "Milky" would be in a different blog. Hihi.



I have lived with a hobbyist all my life. So these TAMIYA color spray paints were really familiar to me. I used to play with them when I was a kid. The colors fascinated me. I didn't use them as sprays but as "people" though. I imagined they were people with different colored faces. HAHA.
