Day 3 of Osaka.
First stop of the day was HEP Five, located in the Umeda district. Had a little difficulty in finding the place because it was kind of far from the station that we alighted at so we went to the visitor's center to ask for help. =D The lady there was pretty nice and she tried her best to give us directions in English. So sweet~! Anyway, reached HEP Five a little too early and as the place was not opened yet, we stopped by Doutor Coffee for a drink. I love green tea latte!!! In fact, I feel like drinking one cup now as I'm writing this. Someone please get me one from Starbucks...thankew.
Took the ferris wheel at once upon entering HEP Five. Luckily we did so because by the time we got off the ferris wheel, there was already a long long la la queue outside. The ferris wheel set us back 500yen each and the whole trip lasted for like 15mins. It was kind of interesting at first but it slowly got boring and it didnt help that I was not with my non-existent boyfriend. The couple in the previous carriage was like totally making out so I guess the ferris wheel was interesting for them. =D
After 1 minute of taking photos of the scenery, we camwhored for the rest of the trip. Lalala.
Bird's eye view.
Pretending that I'm scared of heights. Bullshit.
Took an early lunch at this restaurant inside HEP Five called "ful fle". It was a waffle shop but they also sold moffle. What's moffle, you may ask. Moffle is basically using rice cake, otherwise known as mochi, to make waffle, in place of the traditional batter. Combine the words "mochi" and "waffle" together, you get moffle~! Wanted to eat this ever since I saw it on Domoto Tsuyoshi no Shojiki Shindoi~It was GOOD~
My iced tea that came in a freaking tall glass.
While shopping around for clothes, I wanted to try on a pair of jeans so I entered the fitting room and got the shock of my life. There were like posters and posters of naked women in the fitting room. Somemore is totally naked. The poster outside the fitting room was even worse. Not only was the woman baring her breasts, she was also baring the lower half of her body. wtf. It's not even a porn shop lo!
Next stop of the day was Osaka Castle. Never go to the castle in summer man...it was FREAKING HOT and I almost died walking under the hot, searing sun. I wore slippers throughout the trip and I got a nice slippers tan on my foot lo. In fact, it was more than a tan, I think some blood vessels burst or something and I had nice bruises that looked like slippers on my feet. wtf. I dont know what I'm talking about.
Took the choo-choo train because I was too tired to walk anymore and realised too late that the train actually stopped at some place further away from the entrance. Had to walk all the way back to where I boarded the train in the end...in the freaking hot sun. Anyway, the China kid was seriously irritating me while we were waiting for the train to move. He kept complaining that the train was not moving and that he didnt have so much time to wait for it to move.........Then get off the train lar idiot! The train is not your private property okay! Dont expect it to move under YOUR command.
Trying to act cute.
Since when did people in the past carry umbrellas? Hee~ I was so hot that day that I couldnt be bothered to put down the umbrella while taking this photo. I even went to buy a hat and towel from the souvenier shop because I was like seriously coming down with a heat stroke. Had a little difficulty in breathing lo.
The guy who was doing a little skit. He was like sweating bullets wearing that costume under the hot sun. Damn ke lian.
Ice lolly~ I love whoever who invented this!!!
My takoyaki wallet that I bought at the souvenier shop. I seriously hung it around my neck and walked on the streets of Osaka because I was too lazy to carry my bag. People were like staring at me but heck la, my shoulders were hurting can!
Went to this shopping street at night but by the time we reached there, it was closed already so instead, we did some grocery shopping. Most supermarkets in Japan have discounts on food after 8pm so being the kiasu Singaporeans that we are, we rushed to grab all the food on 50% discount. Ta-da~ Our cheapo dinner.
My luggage after 3 days in Japan. -__________________- How to carry home?!
