25 DECEMBER 2009 FRIDAY

woohoo~ this is gonna be super lengthy

Because we have to take the night bus the next night to go the ski trip, i thought like might as well just kaikai at osaka before going.
 
Our first destination: namba parks!
In Osaka, there's just 3 parts you have to go to: Nanba(south part), Umeda(north part) and USJ (the theme park). If you've been to this 3 parts u can proudly say "I've been to Osaka" =). nanba parks is at the south part.
here's some photos of the views we passed by from our hotel to nanba parks.
Ok. I lied.
here's some photos of the views we passed by as i made the three of us walk from our hotel to nanba parks. Which is a couple of stations away. Its not that far. Really. According to google map its just a mere 23 minutes away! I'm positive it wouldn't n't have taken an hour if we didn't get lost (｡〇_〇).

 

personally I don't like to post too many scenery shots but mum loves photos of botak trees so....

 This building is actually a lot more gorgeous than it looks in the photo. I just couldn't get the feel of it in the shot. I think its some place especially for weddings to be held at. If i ever do get married, IF, and only IF, i'd like it to be at someplace dreamy like here =)

 
 
 
いよいよ、
  Nanba parks~!

If i'm not wrong, its designed to look like a canyon. It's geng and...cool. sorry i don't have much words in my vocabulary to describe buildings. but it really was very unique. i never saw an interior with curves like this one. i was like 'wow!!' when i first saw if from afar.

so sorry ling, i know how much u love stuff like this. if i knew about this place earlier i definitely would have recommended u to go when u came.

to take this shot we had to walked all the way to the opposite expensive looking hotel and ride the elevetor to 20+ floor. it doesn't look good at all when taken from the ground.

since i've already took the trouble to go all the way up, took some photos of osaka from up high too.. not really tat pretty huh.

yay~! finally photos with me in it~~~

 

hohoho.. legs look long here. will definitely remember this pose (ﾉ´∀｀)ﾉ

joyce was with us too but it just so happened i looked better in these shots.. apparently she's the better cameraman.

..

...

damn i sounded so vain..

this is the shopping area in nanba.  and thats a refection of the glico man.

okay.. this is 1500yen room (rm60). its considered very very VERY cheap in japan. because japan hotel system is to count money per head not per room, we each paid 1500yen for 3 single rooms.

and i wake up at 5am to find ...this......=.=

a bit zadao..  in the end we all slept in one room haha

26 DECEMBER 2009 SATURDAY

this is tsutenkaku tower and the area is called shinsekai／ 新世界／new world..  its one of the poorest area in japan and i was really shocked to see the condition there.

and this is kushikatsu.. it's a famous delicacy in this area. but its really just some fried stuff that tasted slightly better than normal ones. we only spent a little time here before we went nanba to shop again =).

and the nite finally arrives and we ride the night bus to go nagano
