Day 7 - Osaka

Today we headed to Osaka, and stayed in the nicest hotel yet. The room was a little strange as there was a window from the bathroom into the main room, it had venetian blinds. I thought it was funny.

After checking in we walked the streets of Osaka and found a Comedy & Performing Arts Museum. They really looked after us and we wondered if they don't get many tourists there. We were lucky to meet a nice lady who spoke some English (she has been to Australia when she was in yr11 on exchange and stayed in Morwell - Gippsland). She told us all about the exhibits in the museum. We saw a small show although I didn't understand any of it.

Dad dressed up in a traditional comedians outfit and tried to say a really long Japanese child's name in under 10secs and it was really funny, I was crying with laughter. We found out that the name is from a popular story in Japan and that kids compete to say the name fastest. Mum also dressed up in a funny hat and glasses!
After all the laughing we headed back to the hotel as we were tired and had an afternoon nap before dinner.
