UENO ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS 2012~♥

Tokyo trip 2012~

                 
             Hi everyone nice to meet you guys again! Sorry for the SUPER DUPER LATE update but I was so busy about my school works! Well today's introduction will be on Tokyo's UENO ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS!!! For me it is call a ZOO but japanese call it a ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. I guess it is a more formal way to put it^^ XD 

So here is the link to the park: http://www.tokyo-zoo.net/english/ueno/ and it is located approximately 38minutes away from my hotel "HYATT REGENCY TOKYO" in shinjuku. But for my sis's benefit, 38minutes doesn't really matter.. Lol!

Here is the map for railways station which shows the stop to Ueno area. Ihe ueno area is on the right top side of the map and is one stop to the right from shinjuku station and it's really not that hard^^ 

This is the scene that i took before we can see the entrance of the zoo. It's a memorable statue. Okay, this is because there is a memorable building right in front of the entrance of  the zoo. (Sorry that i forgot the building's name.. T.T) But yea this is how it looks like before the entrance of the zoo!^^

This is another scene that I saw before we reach the entrance of the zoo! Haha a kid set up entertainment park. It's so cute!

Okay so here it is! The entrance of Ueno Zoological Garden! XD And it's japanese name is just aslike as chinese words! This is the translation in chinese: 上野动物园. haha!

Cam-horing with the pandas!XD

Actually i wanna take a picture of the panda when he/she is awake, but well, it's winter so i guess it's a very good temperature to sleep! XP

This is the toilet that set near the entrance! you can find it because the whole toilet building is baby blue and pink! XD

Harry Potter's owl!^^

THIS ONE IS LEGEND! It was so near that i thought it was fake but it is 100% real owl! XD

TOKYO SHINJUKU STARTING POINT 2012~♥

TOKYO TRIP 2012~♥

19122012

          I promised in my last blog saying that I am going to introduce my TOKYO "SHOPPING" TRIP in this blog so here we go! XD

          19th Dec 2012, the first day of me and my family going to Tokyo! YAY! Well I have nothing to introduce about my taken airline to Tokyo because as malaysian we all know that the national airline for malaysia is? O.o? MALAYSIA AIRLINE OF COURSE! LOL!

This is how my dad and sis looks like when we are at KLIA! XD They look well... EXCITED? Nah!

          After a long 8 hours torturing flight thanks to all those babies crying and plane chairs, we FINALLY arrived at TOKYO NARITA AIRPORT YAY! I should admit that it was cold but I am still wearing shorts and a thin blouse.. XD This time we are living in TOKYO HYATT REGENCY HOTEL AT SHINJUKU which it is 4 stars according to my travel agency {But for me it's already 5 stars..^^} and the address is 2-7-2 Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-Ku,Tokyo, Japan 160-0023 where is about 5 -7 minutes of walk (IF YOU ARE A FAST WALKER BUT A LITTLE OF WALK DOESN'T HURT RIGHT? XD) to SHINIJUKU TRAIN STATION where there is a lot of retail store and department store along the way! XD It's a pretty good and convenient hotel for me as I AM A TOTAL SHOPPING FREAK! XD Although I booked my room through travel agency, you can try book a room and check the room rates at http://tokyo.regency.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-tokyo-regency/services/maps/index.jsp?icamp=propMapDirections 

From this map you can see that the highlighted HYATT REGENCY TOKYO is the place where I lived and SHINJUKU STATION is the MOST RIGHT DOWN SIDE OF THE MAP.. It looks far but it isn't that far.. XD

          *ALSO, MAIN POINT HERE!!!!! Don't worry about the language as your hotel assistants have fluent english if your english is not that good there is someone that even speaks CHINESE! O.O Unfortunately I don't know whether they can say other language.. >.< BUT most of the places I went they have ENGLISH, CHINESE, KOREAN, OF COURSE JAPANESE 4 KINDS OF INSTRUCTION BOARD OF EVEN RESTAURANT MENU! YAY! *

          After we finished our check-in, my mum decided to find a restaurant to fill like our thunder-like growling tummy.. So we chose one of the restaurant in the hotel which name is CAFFE one of the buffet/italian restaurant just downstairs on ground floor..If you wanna try it out go and review it at http://tokyo.regency.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-tokyo-regency/entertainment/dining_detail.jsp?itemDesc=fboutlet&itemId=1000027 .The food was nice and the service is definitely 5 STARS! XD AND THE BEST THING IS IT OPENS TILL 12AM!
