Today I woke up around 8am after having fallen asleep around 3.30am. I shaved off what i could of the rapidly growing mustache which ive grown to dislike, ate a handfull of granola and met up with the fellowship (of the Kaikan). We got ourselves some train passes then made our way to 大阪城 the famous castle in Osaka. It was probably the prettiest castle iv`e seen since coming to Japan and the Sakura trees being in pre-bloom season had everyone reaching in pockets to take out cameras and hold up peace signs.
Our second stop was アメリカ村(America Town) . Seriously?
Its currently part of a strip mall (extending for miles in every direction) in the most developed area of Osaka , perfect for people who want to shop, find restaurants, spend lots of money and dress funny. Actually, America town and the areas around it were pretty cool. Think about the Gas Lamp district in San Diego, but bustling 24/7 and bigger... way bigger.
Currently were back in the hostel for now. Some of the others are hitting up a club tonight and partying till the first train at 6am while a few of us are going on our own adventure. Realizing that were not rich, some of us are buying really cheap ramen, cooking in, then testing our Japanese on the trains.
As for now, ive half asleep since getting out of the onsen. Ill just relax until later tonight when i venture back into old people ville for the supermarket. Ill post pictures for yesterday and today later!
