Osaka to me

Osaka is pretty awesome. We asked Takeshi, the guy who ran the awesome hostel that we stayed at the first night in Osaka, where are the cool places to go to in Osaka were. He gave us directions to Dotonburi which was probably, by my best estimates, 1 or 2 square miles of shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, arcades, and just random wackiness. I think the stimulous factor was about 4 times greater than Shibuya. It is best described as the love child of The Block at Orange, Downtown Disney, and The Irvine Specturm, after they all drink a bucket of turpentine and Popov and engage in a very loud and flashy threesome. Mike and I just had to laugh most of the time at each new sight which was more ridiculous than the previous.

Mike and I are about ready to leave Osaka in just a bit. We are heading to Kobe where we will both eat a steak that has had a better life than either of us, except for the very end where he was killed so that Mike and I could have a delicious meal.

Thanks for reading guys. Sorry I cant update this more often but I am trying. Miss everyone. Bye.
