traveling on your own gives such a sense of freedom.
especially in a safe city like tokyo, where no one is ever rude
and i didn't feel unwelcomed in any way.
| one of the parks in tokyo. didn't get to visit since it was closed on that particular day. |
| some sakura or ume still blooming. i honestly can't tell the difference. |

| have to tell you, it's kinda hard travelling alone. there's no one there to help you take picturesss! lol |
after wandering around tokyo for awhile,
i got on the metro and headed to ueno park.
i actually went to this lovely park twice:
once by myself, another with my tour group.
main purpose: to catch a glimpse of late-blooming sakura.
| many people went out and had sakura hanami under the trees |
| is this sakura? seriously, i had no idea. hahaha but look at its vivid pinkness! |
| heading into the temple area. got lots of street food, but none i was brave enough to try. |
| the temple/souvenir shop. |
| got one strip of land dividing the lake. it's surreal. before this, this lake only existed in my dreams. |
