Osaka!!! Whattup?! Love this city already :) What a day. So we got to Osaka at around 7:30 am and started our vacation super early. We went to this little cafe that was so close to the station that the tables shook when a train went by. It was really quaint and adorable though. We had some breakfast and chatted (like Oli and I always do) and then set out on a mini adventure to charge our phones and get cleaned up while waiting for Charlie. That was an excursion too because His phone died and we searched for 2 solid hours to find him until he showed up at the Krispy Kreme window like a kid who got left at school by his irresponsible parents. At least that was how his face looked LOL.
So with donuts in hand, we decided to ride a ferris wheel in the heart of downtown Osaka, (which was decked out with an iPod dock so I dj'd that 15 minute ride) eat donuts and see what the city was like from the top. After that, we went to our hostel, showered, and then hit the streets again looking for takoyaki and okomomiyaki (grilled octopus balls-that sounds sus but at some point I'll explain what it is, and a Japanese pancake). We walked around the city until nightfall and took photos, got accustomed to the area and passed through different parts of Osaka like, America-Mura, Dotombori, and Shinsaibashi.
Our other friends, Lyndsey and Arjun, arrived later that night and we hit the hood again. This time, with muddy intentions. We wanted to get loose and party, and that we did. Not before eating, again...ramen this go round, and grabbing a couple road beers.
We ended up at a hip hop club and we danced SO hard. We danced so hard that after we left, we went to another club and danced even harder. When we stepped outside it was daylight and so many people were in the street. We got some food (onigiri and coffee, of course) and dragged ourselves to our temporary home to get some shut eye (a nap really) so that we could do it all again tomorrow. And by tomorrow, I guess I mean today.
Love,
Gypsy
