Ferris wheel, the Hilton and karaoke

Osaka day
For the first time in around two weeks we got the opportunity to wake up after dawn, something we all happily took advantage of. We set out for Osaka around midday, taking a short trip on the Shinkansen and arriving within half an hour. After meeting up with some native speakers who had a much, much better idea of the city than us, we headed for one of two ferris wheels over looking Osaka. It was interesting to see the differences between Tokyo and Osaka, especially considering Osaka seemed to be more built up. After that we visited an arcade, an experience that was at least bewildering and at best unbelievably strange. By the time we'd exhausted enough of our money on Time Crisis, we moved on to check out the shopping district of Osaka.We split up at this point, I spent most of my time in a music store trialling guitars that were five to six times more expensive than anything I owned while attendants patiently waited for me to stop...
Next up was dinner at the Hilton, definitely impressive, then karaoke with Mr. Brysha, another experience that words can't quite explain, nor prepare you for. All in all, a great day and a great way to see Osaka.
