Hey Everyone.

Got all of the Kyoto pictures online the other day so check them out it you want. I doubt I`ll be using facebook too much when I`m travelling now so best stick to emails and messages on here if you want an answer

Yeah so I arrived in Osaka yestarday and found my accomodation pretty easily. It`s not as good as the K`s Houses I stayed at in Toyko and kyoto but it`s decent.

Met 5 people in my dorm last night...all who left today (NOT because of me). I went for a wander down to Dotombori and went to this English bar which was nice - actually got a pint. Watched the replay of Arsenal v Derby which was a good way to spend the evening.

Went to the Umeda Sky Building Today which has a see through lift, open deck observation floor and a long escalator ride. It was really good. Then went down to Osaka castle which was an amazing building with good grounds too.

Met some more people as they have checked in today, so we are going out to Dotombori for a big piss up tonight (hopefully). 5am train home again.

Money has been worrying me as I go over budget everyday...but then I realise that it`s Japan, and I know in SE Asia I will be under budget everyday. I spend 40 quid one day and freak out, but why? Thats for a days food, nights accomodation, subway travel, admission fees and a night out (which ARE expensive). Everything else is a bit cheaper than home.

BTW, if you have Skype, tell me. I found out today its good for keeping in contact, and free if you have it too. If you don`t...get it.
