Went to Ueno Park with Yiting, Choon Meng, Aik Heng and Bing Zhou.
They wanted to go Ueno Park because they watch this Japanese Drama called Heroes, and there is this one scene where the six characters stand in a row in Ueno Park. They wanted to go to that spot..
The leaves are still pretty green because is a the national holiday that marks the start of autumn! Over time, the foilage will change into golden brown. And I will be sure to go back to the park again!
People throng the park on this holiday.
A huge pond filled with lotuses.
Japan, despite all this beautiful facade, does, like every society have its ugly side. The poor and homeless sleep in the open in the park as do in underground tunnels between train stations. This one sleeps, albeit peacefully, amidst moving crowds, in front of tablet at the temple.
One of the many many temples in Japan.
Performers and acrobats stage shows to the amusement of park goers.
I bought myself this huge red bean mochi for SGD2. And the takopachis here have huge tako pieces in them. Unlike their counterparts in Singapore. Of course, the cost here is higher too.
Interesting architecture of a Koban, or a police box in the park.
Lovey Dovey couple Yiting and Choon Meng, and me
At the front of the Japanese National Museum of Western Art. This is the statue of Hercules the Archer. Its a bronze work by Rodin, the same guy that bestowed upon us...
The Thinker. And me, who does happen to think alot too. Maybe too much for my own good. =)
