Ueno Park 上野公園 Ueno Kouen

Good evening everyone.. ^^ I have a few entries I want to post, so, I will try my best to do it.. After the snow fall, there's quite a number of things I did.. Went to Ueno Park, Ghibli's Museum in Mitaka (三鷹のジブリ美術館 Mitaka no Jiburi Bijutsukan) and boarded the Rapid Express (快速急行 Kaisoku Kyuukou) train to Ikebukuro. So, for this entry, I will write about my trip to Ueno Park on 16th February..

Actually I didn't have any plans to go there but since it was very near to the place I went for part time job interview (McDonald's Ueno Park), I decided to take a walk through it to get to Ueno Station's Park Exit (上野駅の公園口 Ueno Eki No Kouen Guchi).

A nice park and I really can't wait to go there in Spring to see sakura :)

Near this statue, there's an explanation board with the title 敬天愛人 Keiten Aijin. I don't know what it is actually. Hehe..

Next, there's the Tomb of Shogitai Warriors,

I would also like to introduce a street performer group I found performing at the park, it's GちょこMarble (G Choko Marble).. Click here to view their blog.. They did some balancing acts with their wooden chairs and what I like the most was the yellow balloon trick. ^^

As I walked further, found the Statue of the Imperial Prince Komatsunomiya Akihito,

Next, I found Ueno Zoo! Well, only managed to snap the pic of the entrance though.. Will try to go there someday..

Before leaving the park area, I visited Toshogu Shrine situated near the zoo entrance,

A few days later, I received an e-mail from McDonald's Ueno Park.. They said they can't hire me because I will return to Malaysia in August.. Darn it! I should've just lie to them (I don't think it is right to lie but I will have to after this.. If not, it is hard to get a longterm job *Took advice from a Japanese friend)

Part time job バイト Baito

新年明けましてオメデトウございます! (Shin nen akemashite omedetougozaimasu!) or simply 明けオメ! (Ake ome!).. Happy New Year everyone!

Wow, it has been 4 months + since I arrived.. It's already 6 January and I'm still in my Winter holiday~ Yay! Hehe.. Rikkyo's winter holiday started on 22 December until 7 January but because there's Saturday, Sunday and Monday is a public holiday 成人の日 (seijin no hi, lit. Adult's Day), so, the holiday will be until 10th January..

Did quite a number of things in December.. Finally, I started my part time job on 22 at 目黒雅叙園 (Meguro Gajoen).. Worked as a runner.. I helped to deliver foods from the main kitchen to various halls.. It was okay for me.. Love the work.. Transport fees was fully paid and they gave free lunch too! ^^

My next job was at 新習志野 (Shin Narashino) in 千葉県 (Chiba ken).. Took nearly 1 hour and 30 minutes from Shiki.. Here is my journey planner,

Started from Shiki - Ikebukuro (transfer to Maru no Uchi Line) - Otemachi (transfer to Tozai Line) - Nishi Funabashi (transfer to Musashino Line) and ended at Shin Narashino station.. What a journey.. I worked as a box wrapper in a warehouse.. Well, actually I don't know how to explain what I did.. hehe.. It was a great job too (transport fee and lunch provided)..

The warehouse is situated near the sea..
