Oh, Osaka

Time to catch up on my blogging. The lack of internet at my dorm has caused me to blog at nearly 2 week intervals. But here I go. I`ll start with the weekend of June 27th. That weekend some of the CJCPr`s decided to get together in Osaka. This meant a glorious 8 hour night bus ride from Shinjuku to Osaka station. Luckily, my trusty tour guide, Keith Mah, knew the ropes already. The weekend started off with waiting for the bus at Shinjuku.



Followed by 8 hours of driving



Followed by a stop off in Kyoto



And Finally Osaka!



Getting off the bus, me and Keith were starved, so we went hunting in the dense urban landscape of Osaka and came upon this feast





French food, in Japan.

Once seated with full bellies we waited for the remaining CJCPr`s (to bring you up to speed, CJCPr`s refers to Canada-Japan Co-op..ers), Matt and Steph. The plan was to grab a train down to Wakayama beach. The plan went through. Although rainy, the beach was still fun. We frolicked in the water, ate some food, drank some beer, and had an all round good time.











Once everyone had their fill of sand and water, we decided to head to Namba for some city time. There we met up with Rumiko (A fellow 2008 CJCPr) and ate our way through Namba. Note the high amount of pictures with food in it.









There were more pictures, but we ate them.

After eating all the food in Namba, creating a year long famine, we headed to Pure, for some clubbing. Good times all around!



Please refer to Facebook for more photos.

At the break of dawn, a weary group headed out of the club. Me and Keith grabbed the next Shinkansen home, and the rest of the weekend (Sunday morning) was spent asleep.



Special Thanks goes to Stephanie Wilson for showing me around Namba. Waterworld and Suplexes for all (yes inside joke)!
