Adventurer in Japan, part 3: Osaka Day 1

Getting to Osaka from Nagasaki was easy as shit. Took an airport bus from in front of our hotel (800Y=6€), checked in, bought a women's magazine that came with a bitching shirt (a white wife beater with the word BLESS across the chest), played candy crush all through the one hour flight, took an airport bus to Osaka main train station (600Y= I dunno, you count it yourself €), took an underground for two stops (220Y), wondered about for a bit and finally caved in and took a taxi to the hotel (660Y) And here we are! That remaining evening we chilled and walked around the neighbourhood. The next day we were refreshed and ready for adventures! And these are the tales from those adventures.

I wanted to go to the Osaka aquarium, because the word though the grapevine was that it was awesome and one of the biggest in the world. Also, the day was sweltering hot and spending it in a dark wet room sounded appealing. 

On our way to the underground station, we walked by this AMAZINGLY themed curry house. We both said "Matt would love this" at the same time, so this one goes to you Mattycakes Monkeytrumpets. 

These two kids were total assholes on the underground, playing the classic game of "trying to make eye contact with the white girl and then laughing hysterically" for the whole journey. Well, joke's on you, little girl, because I'm not the one wearing a shirt that professes my love of fellatio (I only have underwear with that print).

Of course Sam got the cute seal, and I got the terrifying whale shark. 

There are three otters in a pile in this photo. 

King of not giving a shit. 

Seriously check out that 5-year-old girl's camera.

Most kids' favourite fish was this diver. 

But Sam's was this.

"Take a photo of me when there aren't any dolphins in the shot" -Me.



Seal bubble. 

Afterwards we walked to town, Sam found his new favourite nickname. 

Stroppy at Uniqlo. 

This is legendary or something, I know literally nothing about Osaka. 

So's this animatronic crab. 

Enjoying Starbucks where there were no photography allowed. I'M A REBEL.
