Wanted to blog faster about our Kansai trip first in case I forget!
Wanted to blog about shopping at first but I haven’t even unpacked so that can wait -_-
To be honest I didn’t use to like Osaka. I was very used to Kyoto and all its quaint tradition so the first time I went to Osaka and saw its concrete walls and jarring neon lights, I hated it. I thought it was brash and industrial-looking and had none of the culture of Kyoto or even Kobe, or the metropolitan identity of Tokyo.
But this trip changed it all! Kansai people are awesome! They’re damn funny and silly and warm and I met so many amazing people this trip with #addiction. We both always preferred Kansai to Kanto region (Tokyo) but this trip sealed it wtf.
The brashness and garishness of Osaka changed to fun and humor and warmth wtf. What I used to think was ugly about Osaka changed to iconic and unique. God I’m so disgustingly poetic wtf.
We were in Osaka because Cheesie had filming to do (famous person that she is) and I shamelessly tagged along and was a leech wtf.
Imai-san and Jasman picked us up from the airport! This was our first view of Osaka.
SO pretty! Christmas illumination not totally taken down yet.
Think it said one for all all for one.
Had to take picture with illumination! The area is Midousuji hence the wording 🙂
Dunno why my face so constipated.
Pretty leh.
HHAHAHAHAH so funny had to repost!
First meal in Japan! *thumbs nose at plane food
1oo yen sushi! Every plate of sushi cost 100 yen only and it was so good!!!!
So good we teared out of joy WTF.
Before crying wtf. Shitty plane hair.
Fatty’s favorite sushi.
Best shit ever. Forgot what it’s called though. It’s ebi with fresh onion slices on top super yummy.
THEN! Shopping commences. There was an OPA (which is a gyaru mall and can be found all over Japan) near our hotel so while waiting for dinner, we quickly hopped in to have a look.
And came out with 3 fukubukuros between us -____- We both got an EMODA bag each and first of all the bag itself is damn nice already.
Secondly, the stuff inside all damn awesome! I got two tops, a hat, a necklace and a winter jacket inside mine *frothes at mouth. Super worth it, I think the value is already at least 3-4 times more than what we paid. And all in-season stuff some more!
Ok la that’s all for first day cos we arrived in the evening. More coming up!
