Osaka (大阪市)

I will admit, I've been rather disappointed by the fact that no one seems to care that's I've been neglecting to post, especially with all that's been happening. This past weekend I went to Osaka, so I was planning on making a large post about it. For the past few days I've been busy, but even when I do have free time, writing doesn't seem to be worth the effort it takes. 
So I'll just leave you with this. It was awesome. Really awesome. I liked Osaka better than Tokyo, in fact. Alex, a girl named Abby, and I left Friday after school and took the train to Osaka. We spent the day in Umeda, which is the district where the huuuuge train station is. We ended up having a travel service book us a hotel, which wasn't a bad price, but I was hoping to pay...well...have of what I ended up paying. But the hotel was nice, and we met up with friends of a friend and they took us to a party and to a club and it was totes awesome and insanely crowded. The next day, us JCMU kids took a subway to Nanba, another district known for shopping, and well, we shopped. We got back to the station around 6 and took a rather slow train home.

Reason why I could potentially go broke in Japan. But they don't fit T_T

You could find cheaperish things in Osaka. Everything in the shoe store was only $10.

    I knew you've been swamped with homework and didn't want you to feel guilty for not posting.

    I never got Osaka. I think that is where Toyota Hdqt is. I think the difference is Tokyo is like NYC and Osaka more like Chicago. Regardless, looks like you had fun.

      thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it! I think I will still post, but it's just too hard for me to post the long ones. They take a long time and my stats will show me they'll have like 4 or 5 views each after a few days. I think sometime soon I will ACTUALLY post about the Osaka trip though. :)

    Pokemonnnnnnnn!!! It looks like you had a ton of fun, and I can't wait to see your longer post!!! How much did it cost to stay in the hotel in Osaka? I'd probably be broke if I went, too! :)
