So instead of bitching and complaining about not being around anything natural I went to Ueno park in Tokyo. It was really beautiful! I have no idea why Japanese think our fall time is any more beautiful than theirs... Well actually in Canada we have more leaves with a mixture of orange,red and yellow whereas their tree leave are all one colour, so some will be yellow, some red and still lots of green! There was a shrine, statues and as you can see a bagoda (I think that's what it's called... I didn't do my research okay!?!?) * It's actually called a pagoda, sorry!*
It was a pretty nice day, chilly but not freezing! After I went to Shibuya! As you can see it is a very popular place in Japan! Many shops and beautiful women! I think I saw some Japanese celebrity while I was walking down the street to. There was a huge group of people and body guard-like guys. She looked at me and smile as I walked by but to be honest I didn't really care much... Bleach blond Japanese girls are scary... However... Women everywhere!!!! It's wonderful! Unfortunately they are all shy and many of them are afraid to talk to gaijin. So guys no you cant just drop your pants in the middle of the street and expect them to come crawling all over you haha.
As usual I had explored and got myself superduper lost and ended up in a park! I tend to walk on small roads that lead me somewhere completely different. I ended up in a park called Meguro park so obviously I was in the Meguro ward-area-thingy of Tokyo! I had to take a train back to Shibuya then take another train to Akihabara via the Yamanote line, after that I had to get off and take the Sobu line to Funabashi (Which was so packed by the way that you couldnt move more than a few milimeters), Once at Funabashi I had to take the Tobu line to my home in Kamagaya. Now your probably thinking (I'm thinking of you Grandma Turner!) "That must be expensive!" Actually it cost me about 8-10 dollars haha.
So yeah I had a fun day!
Nice post, Mike!
ReplyDeleteActually it's "pagoda": A pagoda is the general term in the English language for a tiered tower with multiple eaves common in China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and other parts of Asia. Some pagodas are used as Taoist houses of worship. Most pagodas were built to have a religious function, most commonly Buddhist, and were often located in or near temples.
See, I DID my research!
