// Day 1 (30/4) Tokyo//
kids with identical yellow bonnets
We took a night plane to Tokyo Narita Airport and arrived bright and early in the morning!
Settled our Japan Railway (JR) pass, got our Suicas ( similar to our ez-link card), and boarded the Narita Express (Nex) to Ikebukuro to unload our luggage!
Just alighted from plane, we took ANA but not this cute panda plane!
The Narita Express train ( 1.5 hrs to Ikebukuro) and the Suica.
We passed by Tokyo Station!
After unloading, we made our way to Ueno Zoo.
On the way there, we had to ask for directions but the Japanese were really, really helpful.
One of them seek help from other people when he also didn't know where the place is.

Polar bear - it looked as though it must have felt the heat too.
No giant panda =( Take a picture with the fake one.

Next stop, Asakusa's sensoji temple and shopping street.
Food stalls galore.
Tasty takoyaki balls.
Souvenirs galore.
Kawaii stuff =)
Fish-shaped pancakes.
Transparent kitchen!
Their food models look so delicious, tempting you to go in.
Fortunately the real thing looks almost identical to the model =)

Next up, Ginza. It's the place where all the international brands can be found.
Things are branded, hence super duper expensive, like those in our Orchard Rd.

Back to Sunshine City Plaza Hotel, did u notice their lau pok tv set?
It's quite surprising, considering that this is the best of all the hotels we stayed.
Everything is nice, but why can they change their tv set? Haha not that we could understand their shows though.
Next time, I might post pictures of their toilet bowl. Or other hotels'.
All the toilet bowls come with control buttons to do things like warming up the seat, washing your bottom...etc. Hahahaha. We COULD'NT believe it =P
