Come Away With Me...

After sleeping at 3am for KMT report,
7hrs of flight,
5 hrs of transit time at the impossibly sterile airport of (shall not name country),
1 round of Name-Love Songs-Starting-With-A to Z,
1 round of Name-Break-up Songs-Starting-With-A to Z,
1 hr of buying various train tickets,
we're in the Keisei Morning Skyliner finally!

Not looking too glam. heh.

Self-photo at the Ueno Shinkansen station. Our first washroom pit stop outside of Narita Airport. Surprised that they are still the old squatting kind but very clean.
At no. 19, there is an escalator down to our platform towards Jomo!
Finding Ueno Shinkansen station was a breeze. It helped that there wasn't a crowd in the morning too.

Our first bento set in the train! Beautifully packaged with a tiny bottle of soya sauce. About 1000yen each. We bought it in Ueno station itself, en route to our platform. The shoplady was going "Arigato-gosaimasu" ad infinitum. It was all so refreshing. We loved it. The bento, though were cold, as all sold at stations and trains are. Dear said his fish (left box) had a lot of fishbones. So we exchanged. But I didnt detect any. lol. Was probably lucky and got the right half. Anyway, the bento filled us for brunch.
The chairs in the train were swivel ones which make it great for families travelling together because they can all face one another. From the window, we could observe as we move from more urban to rural areas. It was truely going to be a getaway.
