Japanorama: Touchdown Osaka

Shinsekai area. Right near where we stay.
We are here! Holy crap it's great to be back in this city again.

The overnight commute sucked though. We didn't leave our house until about 11pm and sat in the tiny Koror airport until about 1:30am. It's a 2 hour flight to Guam which is one hour ahead, so we arrived towards 5am. Another two hours on the ground before leaving around 7am for a 4 hour flight here. Our eyes were ready to drop out of our skulls. Luckily the flight to Osaka was almost empty so we both had three seats each and managed to get some good napping in.

We've had a productively lazy first day here. We've eaten Udon, Tempura, Takoyaki, Sushi, Kushikatsu and compared the new Asahi Gold vs my old favourite Asahi Black. Like recent afternoons back in Palau we even managed to watch the Sumo.
Sumo + Beer tasting!

Outside of the restaurant
What I have managed to be productive with is using this amazing new tool called the internet to update things like; my phones firmware, 50 odd phone applications, laptop OS to windows 8.1, various PC applications and just generally get a whole bunch of various stuff down. WINNING!

Oh and I even managed to fit in a soak in the onsen!


The melt in your mouth sushi
Tomorrow Amanda wants to do some shopping then we'll hopefully visit what is possibly my favourite restaurant in the world (tough call i know) and then off to Kyoto tomorrow night to check out some lantern festival.
