Today was a long day, but much drier. My feet are tired and I may need a new pair of shoes, but damn it was fun. We hit up some of Osaka's crazy shopping areas and let me tell you, you can find just about anything out there.

It seems Cortland went on a rampage with his post, so I won't repeat. I'll just drop a few pics and go on my merry way.

On the way to our destination I came across something I'd always heard of, so I thought I would share it.


An alcohol vending machine. Tada!

Tabasco is representin' Louisiana here in Japan. Found this in a random shop we stopped in.

We stopped by an amuzement center in the middle of the shopping area. It has all kinds of crazy stuff, like bowling, soccer, darts, video games, karaoke and pachinko among other things. I wasn't supposed to take pictures, but I took a quick snap of Jesse playing pachinko.

Walking around in the flashy shopping area there were many signs and advertisement of all sorts. Many of them are quite strange and don't make any sense, like this one...

I'm not sure if this is an add for tomatoes, Viagra or maybe rhinoplasty, but there it is. No words and no discernible product.


here is a random self taken pic of me on some back street in the shopping district.

Now to figure out what we will do tomorrow and sleep.
