(when we arrive in japan the sky was already dark by the time we were on the train to ueno, and raining, and worst of all i wasn't in the best condition-suffering from motion sickness and diarrhea from 30minutes turbulence before landing. so all i wanted to do was checking in to hotel and have a nice sleep). at the airport i was busy buying tickets for the next 4 days: tokyo metro 2 day pass, and keisei limited express, also visited the tourist info center to get the tokyo handy guide booklet that has discounts for museum visits etc. on the way to ueno we had to stop a few times because i wanted to vomit.
this is the toilet i found at first! so surprised, i was not going to use, luckily the disable toilet is modern style. phewww...stopped at ueno
cold, raining, 9 degree Celsius. hopped in the subway to shinjuku. destination: shinjuku listel hotel.
arrived at shinjuku
wow the view was just amazing. what a busy night. people everywhere, lights everywhere. on the way to hotel - which is quite far, we looked for a place to have dinner. we were hunting for the most authentic japanese restaurant since it's our first night we wanted to taste the nice food.
checked in at hotel
after walking for about 30mins, we finally found the hotel. lucko is so good at reading map, he's a great companion for traveling. the hotel is smaller than what i expected, room is tiny, but comfy. the bathroom is small, kinda reminded us of the toilet on plane hehehe. this bathroom is tiny, but complete, and hi tech: toilet that has remote, and a bath tub. perfect. i ended up soaking in hot water every night from the tiredness of walking 8 hours. the bath tub is small but deep, similar to onsen style i guess.
oh i should've taken the pic of the bathroom...;p
