Okay, already another picspam post! (^-^)>

I guess I'm kind of ... in a hurry now?! XDDDD

Anyway in my 3rd week I went to Ueno (上野)! I wanted to check out the HUGE park and also Ueno zoo! :)
Here we go~




At Ueno Station.



That's what you see when you leave the station.



And the station itself. By the way there's a Hardrock Cafè shop at Ueno St. :D



Random shot, cute isn't it?



Street with tons of small shops and markets right in front of the station! I bought furikake and yummie sencha there :D







Random ahr ... shrine?! ... (^^') ...



Just thought it was cute! You could buy tons of sweets and snacks there I've never seen before! Unfortunately I didn't buy anything (^^')



Uhm ... yeah ... fresh fish (^-^)> ....





Gacha gacha machines that are being refilled <3



Okay after a while I went to the HUGE Ueno park (with tons of interesting stuff there!)



Totally had to think of Nodame Cantabile! (^^')



In front of Ueno zoo. A guy doing .... stuff XD .. and a lot of people were interested in it?!!





Can't remember who the guy there is, sorry (^^')



... and for the little ones! ;P



Entrance of Ueno zoo.



That's what you see after you've entered Ueno zoo.



Spotted elementary / kindergarten kids?! (^____^)v



They were really cute! Shortly after that they ran around with some kind of papers - they probably got some tasks to do ^^



Waaaiii~ cute panda!! <33



Nice pagoda!



Yes, Japanese people DO LOVE cute stuff!! XD





Otter!!! They were so cute, but too fast for my camera! (^-^')



Uhm ... yeah! XD



Cute! :D



Gorgeous!! I totally love them!! I have never been SO NEAR to a tiger!!! (*__________*)



One of my fav photos this time ^-^



Can't remember the names of these animals, but they were cute as well!



They were yowling like crazy - sooo~ cute!!!!! <3



Flocke ... Knut ... Uhm .. cute ice bear! XD



Cute brown bear ^-^



Lazy monkeys <3



I have absolutely NO idea what these .... ugly (sorry ^^; ...) animals are! Anyone knows?? (o__o'') ...



Huge cavy??!! XDDDD Cuteee~



Ueno zoo cable car railway.



On my way to the "second half" of the zoo (yes, it's HUGE!). I loved that view!! <3



There was also a petting zoo for kids :)



Jackass penguins! XD



My, he was SUCH a cute beaver!! <3



Armadillos! o___O ... Somehow ... ugh ... but I want to pet one some day XD



Lonely rhino.



HOMG! KAME ORGY!!!!! XDDDDD



[no comment] XD



I loved the colors of this bird! I really was afraid that he would fly away before I can take a photo, but I managed to take 2 of him! ^-^



Alligators chilling out (o______o)



Green ... sssssssssssss ... ssssssssnake! ^-^;



Flamingos~



Penguins again! <3



I have (again) NO idea what "that" is, but ... but .... this guy was really interesting! XD
I wonder what he's doing or at what he's staring?! ....



As it was slowly getting dark, I left Ueno zoo and walked some more through the park.



Megane anyone?! XD



Random shrine again (o_o')





There was quite a huge lake :) It was really gorgeous there!

As it was really getting dark then, I went home.

But I came to the park again together with Yumi-chan a few days later (^^'') .....
So here we go again~



Random shot again .... I just like this one.



UWAAAAAAH~ we discovered a "fake-chibi"-Fushimi Inari!!! KYAAAAH!!!! *runs away*



Quite an interesting map, right?





Uhm, okay. Are we really in Japan??!! ...



Okay, we ARE! ;P





We were again going to the park with the lake.





On our way to Todai (Tokyo University) we discovered this building, I just loved the different colors there :D



Again, random shot on our way.



Yes, I love to take photos of these thingies! ;)



And we finally arrived at Todai!! Unfortunately it was already dark and my camera's battery was too low, so .... no good photos *sigh* (;____;) ....
There're security guards (?) on all the entrances!





They even have their own combini at the campus!!!!!!! *envious*





Photos taken by Yumi-chan's cell phone, because my battery died in the end (^^')



Todai is one of the most famous universities in Japan. A lot of students want to go there, but it's very tough to get in! A lot of people have to start as ronin though.
You've probably already seen Todai in various animes (e.g. Love Hina) ^^




Okay, that's it!!
It's such a shame that we came when it was already dark! I want to go there once again and ENTER one of the buildings there ;P




Hope it was not too boring this time with all the animals.

Bye-cha~ (^-^)/
