Japan, June 2005 / Day #1: Ueno-eki, Yamanote line

I arrived at Narita international airport this morning and asked the information desk for directions to reach Shinjuku. There were a couple of options available and because I was not in hurry, I decided to have the cheapest and the slowest option: Keisei-line to Ueno, and Yamanote line train to Shinjuku. The train was rather crowded with ordinary people coming and going. I also got to see places I would consider Tokyonese suburbs.

This place, on the other hand, is kind of deserted. :-) The train just left without me because I wanted to spend a few seconds to make sure I'm taking the right train.
