Osaka
I am watching a hilarious Wallace & Gromit cartoon on Japanese television -no talking on it (it's about farm animals) - funny!!
Anyway, we arrived here in Osaka yesterday afternoon. I got settled in my little room (which, by the way, has a heated mirror in the bathroom to keep it from fogging up!), checked email, and then went out with Katie. She worked here several years ago and knows the area well. We took a subway to a big shopping/restaurant area, that was so packed with people it reminded me of Shibuya or Times Square.
This sign was on the side of a building. I thought the tigers were cute =)
We walked and walked and walked! It was great! We went to this little mexican restaurant that she and her castmates used to frequent. It was very kitchy and cute. We were both starving by then (it was 9:30p and we hadn't eaten in hours), so we scarfed our food down. While waiting that had the tiniest bowl of chips as an appetizer...yeah, for a baby! lol
no really, I'm not hungry...
I am finally going to clean up and do a bit more exploring (we have the whole day off!), then come back and start Harry Potter!!!!
