Japanorama: 1st week update

This post is coming at you at roughly 300Kph. Yep we are on the Shinkansen (bullet train) travelling from Osaka to Hiroshima. Rather quickly the first 3rd of our trip is over and we are into the middle week where we are doing some travelling around: Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kobe, Nagoya & Matsumoto are on the list.

Beer & Sumo! Sugoi!
We've have a great time in Osaka with plenty of eating, drinking, sightseeing AND internetting. Some of the highlights are: Attending the Grand Sumo Tournament, catching up with our friend from Tokyo, attending a high school baseball tournament at Koshien stadium, eating at my favourite restaurant in the world (Chitose Okonomiyaki), crashing someone's birthday party, eating at the world's first ever conveyor belt sushi restaurant and tasting plenty of new beers.
