Jason in Tokyo- Vlog #1 - Ueno eki

Hey Gang!

I made it to Tokyo yesterday and had a good day at the JET meeting and a nice dinner/nomihodai with the CLAIR staff and my fellow ALTs. We had delicious Indian food! Yum!

I gonna post a few vlogs about my trip, and I made a great two-part advice vlog with the help of the other ALTs for you JET applicants, so that'll get posted soon.

More adventures await - I'm off to Shibuya tonight! :)

Thanks for watching!

I really think it's cool Jason that even though you're in Tokyo, you are still willing to make a lot of videos for your Youtube viewers like myself. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Great view from there.

Whoa, I thought the last group advice video was the last you would make. Good to know that there is another one to look forward to. =)

And OMG no snow in Tokyo, ii na~

I got so lucky and had spectacular weather all weekend - made it so much nicer to walk around.

is that where you can take the skyliner(?) ?

cuz i took the skyliner from Narita to Ueno but the site doesnt seem familar to me..^^;; just wondering

[myargonauts]

I don't know about a Skyliner - but I didn't see anything like that near Ueno station.

Thanks for posting this video! That was my station and I liked it. Actually, Asakusa of the Ginza metro line was my station but since I didn't want to spend money for the tickets (I had the JR pass) I walked everyday to Ueno station. Ueno is very nice.

So it's pretty cheap to get from the airport to Tokyo? I thought it was more expensive. I didn't know the prices b/c of the JR pass.

Have fun in Tokyo! Thank you for the entertaining videos!

haha - I totally did that at Ueno station on Friday - looking for a shop and then realizing I had to leave to go to the subway instead of the regular train, it didn't let me out when I swiped the card a 2nd time to leave. But the station attendant just shook his head, said "Silly gaijin, Suica is for Nihonjin" and let me go. :D

(I"m kidding of course, the station staff people were always nice and helpful when I needed them)

[audwocjf]

oops.. never mind. i was wrong~

the station i was talking about is keisei ueno station near ueno koen. ^^;; ya i guess then i've never been to JR Ueno station haha.

It is hard to pick just one prettiest place....BUT I was fortunate enough to see the Nasrid Palace in the Al Hambra AT NIGHT. They are SPECTACULAR at night and since the rest of the Al Hambra is closed, there are no large crowds to deal with....

haha i have NO idea! ^^
