Entry: Day Two of Osaka! Jun 10, 2008



Before i begin, i recalled something i had forgotten to post about in my last last entry. Before the airport XY and I went to AMKSS Band's POP. So many memories =) Esp. during the recollection concert.

Ahem. Speaking of that... Guess who sat in front of me?

Heh heh. Ooops! xD

Okok. Now back to Day 2!

My roommates and I decided to skip hotel breakfast so we could sleep in Big Smile

We were to have sightseeing and shopping before we visited Yuhigaoka High School. First, Osaka Castle!

We went to the top of the castle to look at the view.
My GOSH. The wind there was super shiok! Whywhywhy does singapore have to be so close to the equator?
The view there was also very nice (:

After the sightseeing it was time for the GOOD stuff - SHOPPING!
They brought us to Shinsaibashi Street and we were supposed to settle our own lunch there. The street was so long that i didn't even walk finish it.
I prefer it to Orchard Road. Less brand names and more good bargains (:

Clothes in japan are very very expensive, though. I didn't buy home any =/
But the women there are very very very fashionably dressed!! Gosh! Almost all had dyed blonde hair and make up on. I think we looked weird compared to them in our casual band t-shirt and jeans =x

Then XY KU & I decided to find lunch first. We saw an all-you-can-eat-sushi buffet for only 1000¥ so we decided to try it out.

Sushi in Japan = Very Nice
Lol =D There were less varieties than in singapore(as we all know singapore likes to fuse western and jap food together), but it was really very good. Even for a cheap sushi buffet that also came with a drink and miso soup.
But as i was already bloated from the night before, i only managed to finish 12 plates =/

XY mananged about 19 plates and Kyou Un 21. Did i mention Kyou Un ate 3 bowls of rice the night before? I wonder where she puts it all =x

We then visited the 100¥ shop! Tongue
Bought LOTS of stuff. So cheap! Haha, most of them were meant as presents. Ahem. I'm cheapskate i know.

We spent a lot of time in that shop, haha.
After that we boarded the bus and reached Yuhigaoka High School at around 4.
Joey, my bus partner, was all excited when she found out that the school had guys(cos we previously thought it was a girls school), but she was disappointed later on that 98% of its band were made up of girls, 0% handsome boys. LOL.

According to Nazreen according to Mr Tan (lol), this band wasn't as fantastic as the ones we were to visit next time but they still sounded good. Better than us definitely =/
So when we first stepped into the school we were supposed to change our shoes and wear slippers. Again, exactly like what i've seen in jap dramas. I got excited again (:

We left there at about 6 plus and went for dinner =)
It was nice, japanese steamboat(different from previous night) and other stuff like sushi and karaage.
I only took a picture after we finished eating =/

It was really nice, but the smell went all over me. My clothes(inside and outside), my jacket, my bag, my hair.
For things like my bag the smell remained there for the rest of the trip no matter how much i tried to air it Angry

Ok! That was the second day for you! (:
