Thanks to Angela and Chrstine both having left Japan, David Roy has become my new best friend as of late wtf.

It being the end of the year for us and with no more money pouring into our accounts, we’ve both turned into the world’s most kiamsiap superheroes, Budget Guy and Budget Girl wtf.

We’re competing to see who can spend the least money wtf. And I win cos he’s gone to Tokyo to spend more money on baseball wtf.

This is the Kamo River where we sat at the banks to eat out onigiri from Takashimaya only 189 yen wtf.

Another view of the river. These are all the restaurants and teahouses from Pontocho and Gion that line the river.

Zoos are cheap too! This is the outside of Kyoto Zoo, which looks kind of pathetic to me. Reminds me of a kindergarten somehow.

Wanted to go there because we heard that there used to be a gorilla living there (look his pictures is up there too!) who would pick his shit up and throw it at visitors HAHAHAHAHHA.

But he’s dead now, so maybe all the pictures up there are actually obituaries of dead animals wtf.

And the zoo was closed too hmph so we went to the Modern Art Musuem!

Very nice! I love musuems but I didn’t think I would like modern art, but as it turns out I do! And it didn’t occur to me that Picasso and Dali, whose pieces I can stare at forever, are also included under modern art.

Too bad we didn’t have time to view the famous pieces cos we spent all our time on a whole floor dedicated to a Japanese painter whose pieces were all named

Carp
Snow
Spring
Sweetfish
Iris
Rain
Ducks

Wtf.

Damn angry la macibai. None of the pieces looked modern, they were probably only called that because they were done in the 20th century. They were on vertical scrolls oh my holy mama.

Then as the musuem was going to close we finally found the Picassos! Bedebah.

Some more cost me 900 yen *whines

I thought this piece was very cool.

Going out with a white guy made me notice how differently people treat him.

When David asked a musuem attendant about a painting in fluent Japanese, she answered looking at me and smiling.

And I didn’t know what the hell she was talking about! I don’t want to lose face okay so I just nodded and smiled engagingly back.

And when he was paying for his sushi at Jusco, the cashier asked me if I’d like a bag even though I was looking away and wiping my nosebleed wtf, so she had to ask me several times and not once looking at David wtf.

And on the subway when David motioned to a middle school aged kid to scoot over so I could sit, the kid hurriedly stood up and gave me his seat wtf.

Some people are very interested to talk to gaijin (foreigners) but others don’t even want to sit next to Trey or David on the train cos they’re too white for words wtf. Interesting huh.

CJ is in Japan to visit his gf Minami so we went to Osaka to play with another friend Toma.

CJ and Toma on a horse-racing game. I refused to play cos the last time I did I felt like I nearly had a stroke wtf. This is how bad my stamina is!

Me standing with my heels kicked off next to a height chart. Shit la look so haggard cos right before that I got splashed with water in some whitewater rafting ride.

Waiting in line for some stupid 4D ghost movie. Not scary at all, just geli.

Then we took a 106 meter tall ferris wheel! CJ didn’t wanna take it cos there was a rumor that couples who rode on it would break up wtf. But he was outvoted wtf.

We were halfway up when I suddenly remembered I’m afraid of heights wtf. I looked over at Toma and he was pale and quiet too wtf. This picture was faked wtf.

Ferris wheel.

View of Osaka from the top.

Hep Five is the name of the place we were at, shopping mall + indoor theme park.
