I sent an email to J hopper in japan today. they are a hostel in osaka. the best hostel in osaka according to my sources. so ive booked my first 3 nights there in a mixed dorm. Should be fun i hopefully will meet a bunch of fellow travelers. also this gives me 2 whole days to sort out some further accomodation. theres a few apartments in the area im interested in and they cost about £200 a month rather than £16 a night for a hostel. There pretty small though i think i figured that the bedroom i have now in brum is the entire flat in osaka, kitchen and bathroom included. its gonna be cosy :)
