MY THURSDAY IN PHOTOS

I started off the day by wandering around Ueno Zoo by myself.

The zoo closes at 5, so they started playing the "get the fuck out" music over the sound system at 4:30. At this point, all the animals VANISHED. Lions and tigers and bears, every pen magically became empty at the stroke of 4:30. WTF.

So I wandered around this nearby shrine until an old Japanese guy approached me looking for a free English lesson. "May I talk?" I told him I was in a hurry and booked it out of there.

Flowers on the trees on March 1st. Crazy.

To the pub!

My roommates, Liza and Jessica

"The Flaming Dr. Pepper"

To finish up the night, we bought some three-dollar bottles of "Black Nikka Whiskey" at the convenience store, then headed to Karaoke-kan for cheap "soft drinks only" karaoke till 4.

What a mess.
