last day in tokyo, haneda airport ..
Mr and Mrs T brought me all the downtown to buy an pan (red bean bread) from this really famous shop in ginza.. (which had a whole lot of diff flavours..heh) couldnt bear to leave them...
arrival at kansai airport.. waited for an hour for the rest of my travel mates to arrive from sapporo..
on the train to the city:) the trains in japan are really really cool. you can turn the seats ard to face each other.. and they have all these automated stuff which are not found in singapore.. but transportation expenses are atrocious!
first group picture!!
thor, jin ping, weili, kane kane, me!
cheap katsu don (meaning abt 6-7 sgd) ard our hotel.. the area was a little, scary. cos it was a lil like the suburbs.. with mainly working class males being the pop.. and pachinko parlours and suspicious looking shops ard... ended up avoiding walking ard the hotel for the next few days.. just went to whereever we wanted and back.. think it allowed us to see another side of japan.. that told us not all was pretty..
matcha flavoured beard papa!
they had a kuishinbo (which actually means glutton) in osaka! :) it was more like a food street in the shopping centre selling all sorts of jap goodies.. heh
eh... this was a really "interesting" hotel facade...
sculptures in front of a hotel.. heh.. this was near minami.. which is in namba (like the orchard/far east of singapore)
red bull gives you wings! right kun ? hee
famous osaka okonomiyaki! friend noodles/ pancakes with eggs and sauce etc etc.. had to queue quite a while for this!
another osaka specialty, takoyaki!
at the famous osaka aquarium.. comprising of 8 stories........ think its supposed to be the largest in japan..
spot the seal?? heh
ferris wheel in osaka.. freezing cold that day..........
attempts at being dainty, think kane's pretty suited for it.. but as for myself..............
on the cable car :) brrr..was abt 4 degrees that night..
charlies' fallen angels? haha..this was taken outside the osaka castle..pity the sakuras werent in bloom yet..
osaka castle.. its been turned into a historical museum now..
sakura! or so we thought.. hee.. i think they were the plum trees instead..
3 duo hua? :) :)
lunch/dinner was omu rice. must have been the best omu rice i've eaten so far....cheese and eggs over the rice in cream gratin with veges.....
plates all wiped out! one of the rare times!! :)
my room in osaka! tiny little room with 2 beds and a tv.. shower was a shared bath (but not mixed bath!) or a single shower for all the guests.. but i think through this i overcame my shyness to use the common baths. after a while u realise that everyone's too busy washing themselves then to bother noticing you ..haha
