Ueno on my mind


Lately, we have been walking in and around Ueno and loving it each time more. There is an incredible arrays of popular sights, the food market, the commercial alleys, small alleys with smelly cosy popular joints for a bite or more. Everything is in Japanese. Unfortunate. But I'll guide you, how fortunate! Red-light districts with what comes with it less the sense of insecurity. After all, this is Japan, and a way much more real chunk of it than the Omotesando and Shibuya of LonelyPlanet fame. I for one like this place way much more. The reason simply put : in Ueno, Japan looks pretty much like Japan.
