So I realize I haven't made a blog post in 1000 years so I will try to slowly make posts for whatever
I have taken photos of. Like with everyone, the first week or so is crammed with photos and tourist-y worthy moments. Now that I have been here for a month the photo taking has decreased dramatically so hopefully that will encourage to post more regularly... Anyways, here's photos from when I went to the Ueno Zoo.

Splitting into our respective Tokyo Tour groups |
On the train to Ueno |
Awesome monk. I wanted to hug him. He stood perfectly still holding a donation bowl. |
Ueno Station |
Awesome levitating bowl of ramen. The chopsticks moved up and down mechanically! |
Yeah I'm scared. |
Settled on Korokke Curry. Delicious and cheap. I think it was 470JPY. |
I was the first to finish so I waited outside to let others have a seat.... It was really crammed. Also it smelled like shit down half this road because of the sewage.... |
GASHAPONSGOAHLDS |
We asked the Waseda student guides what this were and they didn't even know. Also they were as grossed out by it as we were hahah! |
Animal Crossing!!! |
Coolest vending machines ever |
Walking toward the zoo |
Small shopping area |
GENGAR CUSHIONS FFFFFF |

Cheap and delicious! I bought a few. I ate them. I need to go back. |
Sunflower garden.... unfortunately the season was already over so they all closed up. |
Finally heading back to the train station. Some of us split up and went to All-you-can-drink and met up with the other Tokyo Tour groups. |
Everyone that went to the Ueno Zoo tour gathered in a circle and the Waseda student guides had a few closing words. |
