Today we walked up through Den Den Town to get to Namba to see if we could get tickets to a show at the puppet theatre. After trying to decipher some Japanese, we discovered there were no shows except a film about puppets on friday afternoon.

Then we went down the road to see if we could get tickets for the Lost Prophets from Namba Hatch, the actual venue didn't sell them and they set us to the convenience store. We gave up on that when the store didn't look anywhere near where we were so we got the subway to Umeda.

When we got to Umeda we spent ages trying to find the Umeda sky tower, so decided to go on the HEP ferris wheel (which is on top of a shopping mall) to see if we could see it (and to eat lunch) we thought we saw it but when we got to the building it was something else so we gave up and came back.

On the way back we passed a convenience store, which sold tickets. It was all in Japanese so Kate asked the staff to work it. They didn't speak much English so we were all completely confused! She rang up someone and it said they were sold out from that store, but we're still trying to get some.
