Wandering in Ueno Park last week I came across a human jukebox-- an elderly man inside a cardboard constructed booth performing with a trumpet and tambourine. He had three different song menus to choose from, each having about 50 or so songs. I decided to give it a whirl and fed him ￥200 to play Beauty and the Beast. To my delight he wasn't a letdown at all. This guy needs to be hired to do in-house events.
The countdown is on! About two weeks away from the full exposure of cherry blossoms blooming all over the Kanto area. Ueno Park is a pretty common spot for viewing and there are already a few trees starting to show their much anticipated sakura beauty. Can't wait to be part of the herd and add more to the photo collection.
Fact: I'm very meticulous about photographs; on most occasions I'll take the same or similiar shot a handful of times just to make sure I find the right picture.
Fact: I do enjoy being in pictures-- but as a result of my pickiness I'm usually the one who ends up taking the photo. This means I'm usually absent from the picture as I have yet to figure out how to be in two different places in the time space continuum simultaneously.
Of course, there are some exceptions though.
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream...
(in actuality it was really a small pond/lake)
After disrupting a group of ducks, feeding ducks, and being chased by ducks, a random seagull landed on the ledge of our boat. Surprisingly it didn't budge when I took out my phone to get a closer picture of it. And even better it didn't take an unwanted poop in our boat either >=].
