Trip 3 (Mar 2013) Day 11: Ueno + Zozoji + Ginza + Yanaka
This is my last full day at Japan for this trip. Spent most of my morning in my hotel room watching tv. I love the TV programmes on Sunday mornings, because there's many anime and anime related advertisements during this time slot. Plus, I get to watch the latest One Piece anime on TV too.

1153) After I'm done spending most of the morning lazing in the room while watching tv, I headed out to Ueno park, again.

1163) After Ueno, I went to Zozoji, located near Tokyo Tower.

1164) There was a street performer who trains a monkey how to walk and jump on stilts.

1165) After Zozoji, I went to Ginza area for a short stroll. Since it was a weekend (I went on a Sunday I think) so this main street is closed to cars to allow shoppers to stroll down this road.

1172) Had my dinner at this german restaurant located at the basement of Tokyo station.

1173) 980yen for the thin cutlet. Topped up extra for the rice.

1174) Look at how thin this is.

1175) After my meal at Tokyo station, I took a short train ride to Nippori station. Since there is still some daylight left, so I went to Yanaka cemetary just opposite Nippori station to see some sakura.

1178) At Nippori station, going to take a train back to hotel at Minami Senju

1179) The dark brown tall building on the left is the hotel I stayed at. 3500yen a night, single private room, shared toilet and bathrooms. Neighbourhood is not really good, but cheap accommodation.

1180) Cute snacks from 7-11

1182) First time I saw Milo in Japan. It's pronounced as "Mi Ro" here though.

Since nothing much interesting happened on the last day of this trip, so am just gonna skip posting for that particular day.
