This has been cross posted to my DW account as well it is a first come first served system so If someone gets in there first I will remove it from this move as soon as possible (and vice versa)

EDIT: sorry for some reason the post got deleted while i was trying to edit it. Sorry. If you have asked me for a doujinshi don't worry I have the email and message saved :)

Today I went to Tokyo zoo located in Ueno park. I wasn't sure what to expect but I did expect that the cages would be small and that there would be pandas. Ive never seen real pandas in real life so I was exited to see them! Waaah pandas are sooo cute <3 love love love <3

When I saw them the first time they were still sleeping but by the time I made it all the way around and went to see them a second time they were eating waaah so cute!

There was so many animals there I can't even list them but I took photos of most of them!

My camera dies after 3 hrs of continuous use so some photos where taken on my iPhone.

I spent around 4 hrs walking around my body hurts but I am proud of myself as it's now 6:40pm and I am at Tokyo tower so I managed to get back out of the hotel for once ^_^

I'm currently waiting my turn to go up to the special observatory deck for photos. Tomorrow will be another shopping day and maybe I Will also go to the aquarium time permitting otherwise will leave that for Saturday. My trip is now drawing a close :( I'm a bit sad to say goodbye but there is good incentive to come home (all my boxes are waiting hahah!)

I am actually going to have money left this time!!! Shock horror I know :|

Anyway

Here are the animals I saw

I close to 300-400 photos/videos *went a bit nuts*

I will upload them to photo bucket please click the link to look at the folder :) CBF putting them on here itll crash LJ.

The only two things I want to complain about is the following;
1. The kangaroo inclosure is way to small! They have non room to leap around!!!
2. It's cruel to put birds of prey (eagles) in tiny fucking cages where they can't fly!!!

Enjoy the pics. PS there are also pics from Tokyo Tower at night please take a look *theyre all in the same folder :)*

P.P.S the uploaded is taking forever so please check back later if u look at this close to tehe post dates as not all the photos will be there :)

Woke up at 6am had slept well though, had a strange dream of a friend from home giving me a legendary 2000¥ note (I've never seen one but apparently they exist *shrug*) I went online for a bit and then went back to sleep and had another weird dream this time about a dear friend of mine visiting me (she lives very far away) but in the dream she didn't look anything like herself it was very odd XD

My breakfast was subway today I had a third of a footlong and a melon soda I didnt want a big breakfast because I would rather be hungry for lunch at a reasonable time (this will decrease the likeliness of me wondering off for food at a convince store at 8pm and buying junk food lol!)

Oh, the japanese subway has a hilarious tag line!



Today is raining heavily and my umbrella is being a bit weird, I discovered after breaky it was actually broken XD gah so I brought a new giant clear Japanese one (have always wanted a giant clear umbrella we don't really do them in Australia!) and it was just 5 bucks which was good and it's probably going to keep me a lot dryer when my little shitty one!

Today I am off to the studio Ghibli museum! I'm very excited!

The museum is amazing and that's to put it lightly you can see original animations and little snippets threw negatives and sketches and a shelf with all the different colour paints used to do each an every cell! You get to look at animation reels and roll them and sit in the life sized cat bus! There is a life sized duplicate of the spirited away food/open bar that turned the parents into pigs and you can sit there and the plates and chopsicks move *if u move them theyre not like the ones from beauty and the beast lol*! I felt the chicken/duck and it was soft and sqwishy :p! But it felt real!!! There was a duplicate forest from princess mononoke with those little cute white bobble head dudes. <3

The place is amazing! There was a spiraling staircase u could take up to the second floor and I was a little scared as it was really tight really clostraphobic and very long, but it did it anyway but i might've been a bit big lol (too tall as well hahah) I am sitting in line for the cafe now it's already nearly 1pm and I haven't seen the whole place yet (got here before 11)

Another thing we got were this original SG negatives that were used as a movie ticket to get into a cinema which shows original cartoons that aren't sold or shown outside the museum this was fantastic!!

The one I saw was about a boy and a rabbit, they found a cane and both wanted and had compitions to see who could get it, like racing and sumo wrestling! Twas awesome! They kept drawing though so the rabbit went and got his grandmother and asked her to decide when she saw the cane she said it was hera and was happy they found it. (they were a bit disappointed though) in the end they had tea and biscuits <3 it was cute!

Here is a picture from the book i brought



This would have been awesome to take my best friend with me as he is an animator he would've loved it! There was also replica work stations and collected pencils the animators used! As I write this I am getting closer and closer to being able to set lunch (hope there's an English menu lol)

Just before a pigeon was flying around and everyone was screaming, why are they scared of pigeons? Hmm who knows. In the first room there was this awesome figurine tree, with all these slightly moved figurines and then it got dark and it started to spin and a little light flashes and the figures became animated ooooommmmmggggg soooo coooool *____*

I know I'm going to through the museum shop and come out with heaps of shit! Yay nearly at the door <3 the sound of cicadas is incredible here! In line the children can read original picture books bit they're in Japanese so don't do much got me lol.

After lunch I will explore the rest of the museum I'll take photos of whatever outside thing is possible <3 inside the cafe (yes I finally made it after 20 minutes lol) it's nicely decorated with little hats and beautiful red windows. I'm sitting at the bar so I can see people cooking and making drinks and it's very cool! The straws they have are very thin as well. I order a ice cocoa, (Japanese Kind of iced chocolate but it's not really) then a sandwich and a slice of strawberry short cake which judging from what I can see is going to be a giant bloody slice!

Because I am polite (lol I am!!) I asked if I could take a photo inside they said no :( but they said I could take photos of food!

( Foood droools )

The sandwiches I got were even studio ghibilish they were yummy >_< and very filling the Japanese have a habit of not cooking bacon enough though :s.

Cake - look mum I'm eating fruit! Sorry bad joke but seriously omg the size of the thing!!! I have had a cake that big since I started my weight loss. Yes I did eat it all. Yes it was a good as it looked. Yes the strawberries were amazing. No I don't feel guilty... Yet :p

Looked around the rest of the museum and found the shop and the book shop. Brought 5 books, art books for howls moving castle and totoro for me. A spirited away art book for a friends bday (these are a bit too expensive for souvenirs but he's nuts for Japan stuff so even though his bday was in April he said he was happy to wait!) I also brought a book from the short animation o got to watch :) this made me happy it means I can show u guys little pics from it. I also brought the museum book which had an English bit as well :)

I then went to the other shop brought some badges, a little totoro plushie, a no face calendar which was going to be a souvenir for a friend but bugger them I want it hahaha...that's ok right? Lol

I got a little totoro jewelry box and when I was paying for everything I asked if they had Arriette in English they took a copy of the DVD (all writting in Japanese) and then said "it has English subtitles!" yay that's what I wanted (can't do dubs, even good ones!) I'm so happy ^_^ I plan to watch it tonight! (on the pc.)

( Heres what i could take of the museum )

Once I get back I'll relax a bit then head back out to go to Tokyo tower (period permitting ofcourse - last night I had terrible cramps so I wasn't going anywhere lol)

When I got out of the museum there were two men in uniform (not sexy before one of u ask) and they got me onto a studio ghibi special bus that did circles to the museum and station it had pics on it and I was able to snap a picture before we got on.

Studio Ghibili Bus



Boy I'm stuffed but today was good!

Got back my hotel at 4ish and headed out before five to look at Tokyo tower the weather was still bad so I didn't take many pics but I'll most the best ones when I'm satisfied with them (I'm going multiple times) when I was walking around TT I had cramps so I didn't stay long and ended up heading back to my room to relax.

Did see this thou, yay more tacky diamond encrusted stuff! XD



Around 8pm I had dinner at the hotel buffet (which discounts late eaters by quiet a lot) so dinner which was;
Sushi tuna, salmon and prawn x 2 prepared in front of me!
Croquettes (potatoe) x 2
Beef stew x 2 (I don't eat enough red meat and it had mushrooms <3)
tempura mix x 2
Grilled fish x 2
Dumplings x 3
Piece of cake
Little donutty shapes dipped in choc (they had a choc fountain!! *___*)
Mixed fruit.
That was all ¥1000 wooo!

But OMG the food wasn't the best thing in there I had a bad FANGIRLING moment when one of the waiters looked like Hakkai. Now it wasnt just a little it was everything his hair, his voice his body he had glasses OMG every time he came near me I grinned like a dick and flush and he was dressed nicely and and and OMG I want to marry him and have his babies cause of how much he looked like Hakkai... I love the real thing more let that be stated and if he asked me to I would marry hakkai and do whatever he said for eternity! But... Boy was this man hot! Siiigh... He's probably not interested in me though ah well back to Hakkai :p

Lastly spoils for Ghibili ( under here )

Today i needed to take it easy, i just needed a clear head space day with no running around shopping and no annoying tours - i even had an afternoon nap which was brilliant!

My day started in Osaka but i went to Kyoto to see the shrine i Missed while i had food poisioning. I spent some time in the beautiful main room of the shrine which had lovely artitecture (sorry i know thats spelt wrong) but wasnt able to take any photos of the inside sorry.

( Here are ther photos i could take )

The room was covered in Tatami mats and was lovely though very calming and there was incense there too.

I sat there for a while and cleared my mind which was good the horrid thing needed clearing. Once i had done so i felt good and wondered around the parts of the temple i didnt see last time, including a sort of art gallery. On the way to the gallery there was lots of awesome quotes which also helped with the mind clearing and clear decision making. :) quotes like

"The only life you have is the one you live now" stuff like that (thats close to but not on of them lolz)

After that i wondered around Kyoto buying Souvanirs for my team at work! GO THE PROVFESSIONALS!! I got them little calm Buhda statues lol we need calm in our team we get a bit anxsty with the ammount of work we pick up which would have been avoided had someone done their bloody job properly hahaha XD.

I got me and my Fellow Senior big clam Budha and the other guys little Buhda, my Team leader gor a angry warrior though because hes Asian and very Buhda like already so wanted something that was totoally not his personality XD



After that i went back to the Usagi Shop and spent sooo long deciding what to buy! XD Got some stickers and a dairy in the end cause they were sooo cuuute!!!





Then i trundled back to Osaka had a burger for lunch (sorta at a Mcers kind a place but WAS NOT MACCERS!!!)

Then headed back to my room where i comtemplated a massage but then went againest it and then had an afternoon nap instead - OOOO that felt good! A lazy saturday <3 that was so nice. Dreamt of Hakkai <3 Yay! Got up intime to post and have dinner ;) perfect.

Had a slow day today which was nice. Had a late breaky and then an early lunch. Wondered around osaka station for a bit before my tour.

( Lunch )

I was the only from my tour coming from Osaka so I had a private tour guide to take me to Kyoto (not that I needed one lolz) but she was really nice and we talked a lot and she will meet me back at Nara station to take me back to Osaka which will be good lol. Look at what she showed me, some Artwork of all Osakas Sister citys, and Camberra from Australia is one of them!





It's a one hour drive to Nara from Kyoto. Which is kinda weird since it's closer to Osaka (Nara) lol.

So now I'm on the bus and listening to the tour guide in one ear bang on about alcohol and have my music in the other year lol. There will be lots of photos today. Our first stop is Nara deer park!

Oh deer, (pardon the pun!) when I heard about deer park I expected a couple of deers. They're fucking everywhere man XD!!

I tried to feed them and instead they feed of my fucking skirt XD oh deer!!!! Ah well a bit of soap and water at the bathroom later. I did buy deer biscuits for them but when I tried to feed them they all came at me at once so I freaked out and threw the biccies at them and just feed one separately lol.

I am enjoying dango mmmm dango and yummy melon slurpie <3 yummy! I'd never had dango before but it's very very nice :) so that will keep me going before dinner.

The temple was amazing a giant bronze budha statue the largest on the whole world in the largest wooden building in the whole world! There was lots of other budhas with the main one maybe one of them was the goddess of mercy maybe.

( Here's so photos of what I mean (deers & shrine) )

At the next place we went to a shito shrine with 3000 lanterns. It's was alright not as special as the last two places but OMG OMG OMG OMG SNAKE!!!!!

( Photos of snake & shrine <3 )

I looove snakes and was born in the year of the snake so feel especially close to them hehehe this one was sooo cute! So unpoisoness too!! Which made a huge difference <3 I wanted to pick it up but the tour guide was freaked as she was lol. I hope seeing a snake there will be a good sign for me!

After that we went to a souvenir shop and I picked up some incense :)



They then dropped me at Nara station where my guide was waiting for me :) on the way back to namba station we talked and I showed her the photos of my trip so far she really enjoyed it :) after we got to namba we spilt up but she brought me this lovely usagi postcard set >_< cause I said I liked rabbits how nice is thaaat!!



I then ate my dinner which was amazing the tuna melted in my mouth (this is what tuna sashi should do just melt, if it isn't melting it's either not good quality or they cut it wrong!)

( Read more... )

Time to post this and then head for the shower! Wanna wash off all the deer germs.

Today (yesterday) has thus far been amazing I'm feeling great! Something I've also realized is that on the two days I felt like crap I didn't get a proper walk in. I'm writing this at lunch I've walked around 2.5hrs already and have a lot longer to go :)

The area around Fuji is beautiful and I'm walking around the lake. I stared off going on a cable car up the second highest mountain and boy did I get some good pics :) after getting to the top I hiked (yes I hiked) a further kilometer up the mountain to the top point where there was a small shrine I put some money in the money box and made a wish! Also snapped a picture of the top fuji he's being a bit of a shit and hiding behind clouds but I managed to take 2 shoots of him when he came out of hiding mwahahah! Go me! The hike up was really steep and a little worrying but there was a few other people climbing so I knew of I fell I wouldn't be totally isolated.

At the top of the mountain (before the shrine hike) there is a large love heart shaped bell and u ring it and make a wish so I did XD lots of wishing today hahaha.

The view from the top


( Pics of the top here )

Back down and onto a boat cruise again more photos lol that was nice as it was the first time I'd sat down on a proper seat.

( Pics from cruise )


After that I began my walk around to the other wise I'd the lake, it's a bloody long walk and I am impressed with myself for doing this lol. Eventually I got hungry and saw a cafe open for lunch and prayed Ot had an English or picture menu, it had an English menu yay! Oh this place is Yakiniku! I'd never done Japanese Yakiniku and as nothing else in my day had been saiyuki'd I figured why not this lol! There was 3 lunch sets 2 with pork and one with sirloin steak. I don't often eat steak cause it's usually cooked wrong for me and I dislike large chunks of red meat... But i didn't want pork.... O M G best choice ever! Lunch was IMO expensive but it wasn't really expensive for what I got and I figure that I'm not spending much at the moment anyway so who gives a shit. The steak yakaniku style was incredible no wonder our boys love it!! For the 3000¥ it cost me I got, 10 pieces if meat, soup, salad (a good amount too) some veggies, a bowl of rice, iced oolong tea and ice cream with cream and corn flakes...Wtf

( Pics of Lunch- yum yum )

I've also seen two skinks today and some eagles looove eagals! I've seen a billion dragon flies and butterflies. (no photos to hard to take)

I walked around the lake to the otherside boy or boy is that a good/long walk christ. I then found the music box museum it wasn't the one I wanted to go to bit I figured why not and went in. This wasn't for me, it would've been more fun with my grandmother (Bubbi) or my friend Paul. (he would've loved it) either way I took heaps of photos. My ankle hurts now but I a really enjoying walking so I'm currently resting it an have taken some pain killers to get me back to the the other side :).

I just finished at the museum I did want to go to. It was a beautiful museum filled with artwork buy a children's writer/illustrator the artwork isn't anime but is very nice and pretty to look at. I brought an artbook from the museum I think I'll give it to my best friend as a present of he likes it. (he's hard when it comes to getting art cause he's an artist)

At the cafe attached to the museum everything has strawberry in it... They even had a strawberry coffee XD I don't drink coffee but that sooo doesn't sound good lol.

( Musuems, my dessert and pics from this side of the lake )

I am now back home after 45 minute walk :) the walks been great! It's nice no people no trains no crowds today's been really different. I hope I can do another day like today again. My ankle managed through the walk and I can see I've managed to correct most of my penguin foot on my right side so for the first time in forever I walk with straightish feet. At my moment I'm sitting topless (with bra) fanning myself under the air con im very hot, today was nice thou cool winds.

Bwahahaha relaxing in my room cooling off and watching the anime channel and it's got dragon ball z on and it's the episode where they say it's over 9000!!!! I got the line even in Japanese!

When I went to have a bath today i noticed a scale and figured even thou I've eaten it'd be a good idea to weigh myself I was 106-107kg... That's after eating...that's almost 3-4kilos in less than 2 weeks!!!

Dear F-list... this next most may not be coherent like my last ones... alot of things happened today some good some not so good... but... after lunch things picked up... a lot and thats when things became less coherent.

the first part of this post was written on my iPhone as per usual as my day went...

It's 2am when I'm writing this, I had a weird dream about buyin to much stuff and that it gave me acid reflux and woke up with bad acid reflux. Went to the loo, fell tired and bluer. Then I heard the wise words of a dear friend, telling me when I feel sick I should try and be sick, better out than in sorta logic right? Well that didnt work and now I do feel sick but not going to be sick sigh. Had a sit down shower to try and relax myself and I'm now pretty tried after writing this. Goodnight again.

When I woke up I didn't feel as bad but I used my durama charm to wish myself a healthy trip and once I woke back up after a nap I felt better. I then wrote some post cards and moved onto the - waaaaaaah!!!! I just saw mount fuji! (or Fuji san as Hakkai calls it in Urasai!)

I'm actually on the bullet train as I write this lol, just finishing mailing postcards and my latest box :( box count is lowish ATM *_* Tokyo should fix that! While sticky taping my box I cut my thumb quiet badly it was bleeding everywhere good thing I have lots of bandaids with me! this train is an express which is good :)

EDIT: took the bandaid off my thumb now, no wonder it bleed! it actully sliced a 5millemeter by 3 millimeter hole in my skin so i have a whole in my thumb the shape of a rectangle... :S

Jesus bullet trains are awesome Japan itself is awesome! U see so many awesome things it's not possible to capture them all!

Oops lol when I showed the conductor my ticket he told me I wasn't allowed on this train eep oh shit! He says he's coming back in a bit but I don't understand what's going to happen XD...

He came back with a peice of paper and told me I'll need to get off at the next station and to catch the train he had written down ;_; he didn't even charge me for being on the wrong train and when I asked he said "because u missed the train" the Japanese are so kind!!! In Australia I'd be slapped with a fine and kicked off quicker then u can say sorry!

Yay now I can technically can say I've been to Yokohama (station). Got to Tokyo and then my hotel in Ikebukuro hadn't eaten was hot and it was already 1pm comiket closes at 4pm and it takes an hr to get there will not go today will instead spend day shopping. This is a good idea *nod nod* not feeling very happy though...

Although a part of me is disappointed I think I'd be more disappointed if by the time I got there I could only spend 2 hrs looking around. Tomorrow I will try and get there early and even if I have to wait in line a bit at least I'll be there. Somehow I am now in a tgi Friday because I really felt some something didn't have to worry about eating lol. Yay chips :p haven't had them in aaages but I'll be shopping soon so I need my strength!

My hotel is very close to otome road which is where k books/mandrake/animate and where that giant saiyuki gaiden sign was posted :) should have stuff to buy there :) I think I would've pushed onto comiket if I would've had access to my room when I got there or if the taxi driver had actually driven me to the hotel rather than yelling at me and pointing at bic camera XD ah well can't go wrong with shopping can u?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear f-list at this point in my day the following had not occurred.
- shopping
- seeing my room
- relaxing

I was honestly feeling a little shit. :(

But then....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sooo I went to mandrake, fuck i love mandrake and came out with lots and lots of porn so much porn mostly Hakkai mmm porn. (doujinshi mind u but its still porn) Even found a couple of really good circles for Hakkai Gojyo and Hakkai Sanzo!!

In mandrake there were a lot of people which was surprising because i thought Comiket was on starting today (maybe i was wrong?) and there were two people cosplaying in the store one as tiger and one as bunny, but i couldnt get a photo of either which was fine but they both did it really well (both girls)

Happiness level 6/10

Then i went to K-books, up to the doujinshi level... ooo found more Minekura original doujinshis and yes it does have a topless picture of Hakkai awesome!! it was very expensive though and there was a second one there i wanted to buy but it was 20,000yen!!!!!! :| dont get me wrong... i will... try and justify it somehow, its uber old and has Goku on the front, but if it doesnt have at least one good Hakkai pic its a bit meaningless to me other than for collecting purposes.



Then found lots of normal Saiyuki doujinshi too and mind you there were heaps of girls going through the same section but i managed to get all the Hakkai/Gojyo ones :D hehehe. Again surprised at how many of these girls werent at Comiket the DOUJINSHI convention! Nah well.

Happiness Level 8/10

At this point my bags are very heavy filled with books and I didnt want to go to too many more shops before i went home as i can always go back in the next few days :) but then i figured id go to Animate (never got there btw because youll soon find out why)

I then saw the other Kbooks, u see, in otome road the Kbooks are split into 4 different shops. Id got to the general one, and the two doujinshi ones and was on my way to the CD/DVD and goods one. So i asked them as normal did they have saiyuki goods, and to my great surprise they said yes but not many. (this one fine i was happy to see what they had...)

HOLLY FUCKING CHRIST ON A PIECE OF TOAST NOT MUCH MY ASS!!!!!

THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE HAD QUANTITY BUT THEY MADE THAT UP IN FUCKING QUALITY OMG I CANT BELIEVE I NEARLY MISSED THIS BY GOING TO COMIKET...

AWESOME ITEM



RARE AND EVEN AWESOMER ITEM




OMGFUCKINGGODWTFISTHATDOINGTHEREWHYHASNTSOMEONEBROUGHTITMINEMINEMINEMINE



NOW, THAT IS A FUCKING ORIGINAL CELL FROM THE ANIME I HAVE CHECKED IT THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THESE BEFORE AND THEY GO FOR SHIT TONES OF MONEY AND ARE NEVER AS NICE AS THIS ONE...

IT WAS $50... I fucking kid you not...

....<3333333333333333333333333333333 i have a Hakkai Cell... gods

Happiness level over 9000!!!

I then got back to the hotel with my goodies ready to share and found out the wonderful following.

- Breakfast is FREE no cheap FREE :D (i had money put aside to pay for it!)
- FREE wireless in the Lobby!
- FREE Ethernet in the room :( to bad dont have a computer, but wait...:O u can rent one for what i was going to pay for breakfast!!! A LAPTOP (i love laptops) YES FUCKING PLEASE!!!!
- Room is so epic its unbelievable... bathroom is amazing... hotel is amazing... Im close to a post office... and Otome road... ;_; (tears of joy btw) Kyotos shitty day of being sick has been replace but one wonderful day of finding all of my Hakkai love.. all of my Tech love and all of my comfort...

( Pictures of my hotel room and why its cool )

Im not going to take photos of all the Doujins... theyre too many.

But here is a run down. (bear in mind unlike our ridiculously over price for doujinshi these are 2-6 dollars each only one or two over 10 dollars)

Hakkai x Sanzo = 18
Hakkai x Gojyo (OTP) = 26 in (name of the rain, another one from aya and one from another circle i like)
Hakkai X ??? = 7

Good day! Lets hope my footy teams wins tonight to top off the epicness!!

Today i head off to Kyoto for 3 nights :) i stay at a Ryokkan (did i spell that right?) across of the main giant Koyto temple!

I should have internet there, but it isnt gareenteed.

Last night i read some of the porn from my spoils, the 58 ones were rather tame disapointed about that but i still have almost another 3 weeks to find some ones that arent ;)

The tiger bunny ones were great, will need to scan them for u guys somehow... now sure how XD

I also read the latest finder ;) well if u know finder like i do the word "smut" sums it up, especially when its in japanese and i have no idea what theyre saying haha. Ive forgotten the main dudes name but he needs a sign saying "butt out for hire" on the back of him!!!

Heres　the Takoyaki i promised to photo, it was a bit mushed around in the box when i got to it but please dont let that make u think that this isnt THE BEST takoyaki in the world!



today as per usual i had my japanese style breakfast and i saw this XD



LOL Sarad!!　XD i know why its like that but it doesnt make it any less funny XD

Also this is the sound of the Cicadas in the morning. (hope this works)(it didnt so click the link if u wanna hear/watch)

http://s992.photobucket.com/albums/af46/rarticuno/?action=view¤t=IMG_0413.mp4

this morning at breakfast they had a msuical only version of eltons johns "when you feel the love tonight" it was really nice!

Im off now to drag my shopping (from yesterday) to the station to post :) and then to back and off to kyoto!

Catch ya soon!

So i will start with last nights dinner, ooommmggg yuumm for 2000yen (twentyish bucks) i got this. Which was followed by 4 cookies, an apricot shortcake, orange zest and 2 chock chips



Today was a good morning got up, ate breakfast and then to the net cafe. After which I headed to the pokemon store it was actually in Osaka station so it was easy to find. This one didn't have as much older pokemon stuff and it didn't have the classic pokemon centre music playing like the last one did.

I got there early but there was still heaps of kids there with their folks and we were cramped into the elevator Japanese style lol. I found one Articuno figurine and then got a couple of cute pokemon things :)

- Celibi plushie
- Pikachu keychains / badges
- articuno figure
- mareep note pad
- pikachu badge
- osaka pokemon centre playing cards
- osaka pokemon centre meoth/pikachu/tepig keyrings
- pikechu R keychain



I stopped to get a drink at a small cafe in osaka station and took a pic of the beautiful view.



On the way back to my room to drop my brought stuff I was distracted by (not kidding here, thoughts of hakkai) and the elevator door closed on my bag and snapped off one of my badges ;__; the one with hakkai smoking. Now I don't love that badge (which is why I brought it) but I'm very sad to have lost it I fear it has fallen into the elevator shaft.

After that I headed back out to shin-Osaka station and brought some tuna sushi for lunch which I was going to eat on the train but as I got to the train gates I realized shiit I didn't have my tour document to prov I was Rachel ect ect so I walked fast (couldn't run as today I bandaged my ankle for protection against the "walking tour") grabbed it ended up eating the sushi inside and scoffing it down might I add and then bolting back to the meeting place which was in Osaka station. I don't like being ontime or late I like being early XD but luckily the other people were late so it didn't matter.

There was 5 people on my tour not including me and including the guide who was really lovely! There was another Australian from Brisbane sl we chatted a bit she was an older lady probably in her 50s and an older couple from new Zealand and they mustve been 60s and a younger girl from brazil not sure her age but 20s I'd say but she was very quiet. Here is a pic of our group :) (Im not in it)



I talked alot to the Aussie and NZ ladies and we got along very well and they told me they wished that they'd traveled like me at my age lol.

We went to Osaka castle and it was beautiful, stunning amazing... But wait... Oh no my arch enemy stairs!!! Here are some pictures we had to walked up 3 floors from 5th floor to 8th and to get down we had to talk 8 flights down :s did i mention how hot today is?

( pic spam under here )

There was alot of walking today I walked 4+ hrs I'm not kidding my shirt is so drenched it sweat it's very ewww :s I have a lot of photos from today to many in my op but my mother/god mother said if I didn't take them I would be killed so I'm doing this for my life people hahaha.

After we did Osaka castle we went on a cruise down the river in a boat whose roof can shrink and it did and it was very colstraphobic to suddenly have the roof come down!

picture from the cruise


Osaka castle garden was amazing and I was VERY luck I didnt get sunburnt veeeery lucky.

It Was such a nice day today (really) when I lost my hakkai badge I was sad but now I am really happy.

I think I might eat in tonight I'm so tired, maybe order room service lol. I've just tallied up what my last 3 days expenditure was ... I am waaay under budget... *evil grins*

Tomorrow is the day that will change *_* tomorrow is Den Den town. The akibahara of osaka and a saiyuki and doujinshi gold mine mwahahaha spending ¥_¥

Peace out people!
