Hello Again!

After a long lie in this morning we got up to look around Osaka! We went to the main station area to get some money out and walked past a bakery that we couldn`t resist so bought ourselves lunch... a pizza slice and cake (not very Japanese I know!). We then caught the train to the Osaka-Jo castle park area and sat in the sun eating our lunch! We then walked up to the castle... along the way an old Japanese man decided to accompany us and practice his english on us! The castle was very pretty! Just outside the castle.... a CRAZY Japanese guy in an orange all-in-one outfit was entertaining a crowd. We watched him for a while as he juggled fruit, then some baton things, and then knives!!!!! We have a video of the knife throwing... check it out in the video section! And check out his crazy pose at the end! We hten went back to the hostel for a bit before heading out to see Osaka at night in the Minami area. This place has loads of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars all on little side streets.... very cute! Osaka city is much more lit up compared to Kyoto... think Osaka nick named the Electric City... check out my knowledge! We stopped at Starbucks because no where else seemed to do hot chocolates and we were cravig one.... we even got a cookie too! :)
