Osaka

I explored most of Takayama on foot, walking up countless hills to different temples, nothing was particularly spectacular, lots of smallish temples on the hill side.  There were also several cedar groves by certain temples, the two must go together here…  I found some souvenirs to buy here though in one of the multitude of local craft shops here, also had some fantastic tempura for dinner.  That evening I had a very interesting conversation with a pilot from Bangkok who I was sharing the dorm with.

Next morning I took the scenic train ride back down to the shinkhansen line and caught one for Osaka, my final destination in Japan.  The weather was absolutely horrendous upon arrival there, due to the latest typhoon going by the Japanese coast.  After walking to my hostel in the pouring rain, I met the other people staying in my dorm room and a group of us went and got dinner, some beers and decided to do some karaoke.  The first place told us no, Japanese only but the second one let us in and we stayed until 4…

I took a break from sightseeing in Osaka, spent most of the time getting stuff together for my flight and hanging with people from the hostel.  From what I can tell the biggest sight here is the Universal Studios Japan which isn’t really something I was interested in doing anyway.  I did get to the harbour, walked through a few downtown areas and went up their view tower for a great shot of the city at night.  The hostel is very quiet tonight, despite being fully booked, almost everyone is at the radiohead concert here tonight.

My 3 weeks in Japan could hardly have been better, it’s been fantastic.  Next up, flight to Seoul tomorrow…

  5. Contrary to popular belief, commercially available ID scanners do
    not run the license number against the official state database for authenticity.
    Not surprising to those who know the power of Multi-Level
    Marketing, Life – Vantage sales have dramatically improved
    and with that their stock price has more than tripled from its lowest point
    of less than $0. Employees would click the
    link and enter their company credentials, only to end
    up on a ‘Work in progress’ screen, while their information has been saved by the fake phishing website.
