Vacation!!!

Post by **Shirai** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 12:13 am

Hey hey for Osaka Japan everyone!!

Mah Plane!

I´ve been here for a little more then a day so I should give you a heads up!
Day 1:
02:30 PM I arrived at Narita airport in Tokyo awaiting the continuous flight to Itami International airport in Osaka.
This flight was 11 hours and I hadn't slept.
Then the 55 minute flight to Osaka didn't go as smooth, we missed 5 persons that went with us.
Eventually we found out they already checked in to the additional flight to Osaka giving us 10 minutes to check in to the next flight and get through security.

Streeeeesss!!

Once in Osaka:
06:00 PM

Waiting for the bus!

Sorry I do not have more pics from that day.
Shortly we spent the rest of the evening putting the stuff in the apartment and getting dinner.
(Okonomiyaki... Oishiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!)
And after dinner we found a local bar where we got loaded on local shochu.

Sunday:
Shopping day!!
I went to Den Den town, a place in Osaka with nall kinds of gimmick, games, anime and electronics shops.
I came to Japan with a goal, and I got it!

f*** YES!!
Mine desu!!

I also bought a few CD's and went to the asian trade center.

I forgot to bring my camera so I hope I can leech some pics from my travelmates.
I just came from the same cafe where I was yesterday so yes I am kinda loaded on booze again!

More soon, hopefully with more pics!!

Have fun in Japan. And do remember the game will wait for you to get back home. Japan won't.

Of course!
Today I'll be grabbing a couple of accesoires for my camera which I do not have yet and are cheaper here then at home. (Teleconversion and wide angle lenses)

Then tomorrow I'm gonna go stroll around Osaka without a specific goal.
'Hey cool metro station, I wonder what's above the ground here.'
If you are wondering where the pictures are of the manga/anime shops, it is considered rude to take pictures without consent.
In most shops it's even forbiden to take the camera out of your bag.

I tell ya, it's delicious!!

And I got a few toys to play with again, some camera accesoires to make better pics.
Howver as the ISP here in Osaka is not very good and tends to drop regularly I will post the pics when I get home to my more stable connection.

By then I will make a nice report, and post some tips on what to visit.

They used to have those Chocolate Pie things here in america at one time... long ago when the dino's roamed the earth and we had to rub two taru black mages casting thunder together to power our televisions.

Kids got it easy these days..

(PS: Continue having fun in japan! You lucky little... )

I have to rub 2 tarutaru black mages together to provide enough electricity to power my wireless train transformer now!

Oh that's a good one.

I'll take a better photograph for you this summer when the Railroad Museum opens. One of the Trolley cars has a "No Smoking Permitted" and "Do Not Bother The Motorman" sign. on both signs the "No" and "Do Not" are faded and worn off, so we have "Smoking Permitted" and "Bother The Motorman."

Those Chocolate Pies look an awful lot like Moon Pies.
