Day 4 in Osaka.
We didnt really know where to go on the fourth day in Osaka because we didn't do any prior planning. Ended up going to Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park because we saw from an advertisment that there was a flea market going on at that place. The park housed lots of different kinds of flowers and besides the fact that it was effing hot that day, I'm happy that we went to that place. It was so hot that people actually came to the fountain to cool themselves down. They even wore swimsuits there can! There was an indoor pool near the park but I think that you have to pay to get in so many people chose to use the free fountain instead.
Flowers galore~
There was an entrance fee of 300yen for the flea market...since when did you have to pay entrance fee for flea markets?! Oh wait...it's not called FLEA market, it's called FREE market in Japan. wtf. Not many stalls at the free market though. Look at the sea of Stitches!!! Wanted to buy one of them back but I couldnt think of a way to stuff it into my already-full luggage so I gave up that idea. Then again, I bought a Stitch bag so I guess I did buy something "Stitch" after all. =D As it was freaking hot that day and I forgot to bring the hat I bought at Osaka Castle, I bought yet another hat there. In fact, I bought another 2. -________-
Walked around the park for a while before deciding that it was too hot to walk any further so we went into this air-conditioned restaurant to have lunch.
"Hmmmn, can I join them to cool myself down? Heh." They'll probably poke me with their beaks to chase me out though. Haha.
Ate at "Restaurant of green and water".
Ordered cold Tsukimi udon topped with grated yam and okra. It was damn shiok can! Nothing beats eating something cold on a hot summer day. I think I ate ice-cream like for dont know how many times in Japan can.
Went to Shinsaibashi again. Saw the Biliken statue. I had like so much "yuan" with Biliken. Kept getting Biliken products no matter what I did. -_-
Next, we proceeded to Dotonbori Gokuraku Shotengai. The place reminded me of the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. Like the museum, the Shotengai had the 60s feel and there were many restaurants in that place. You can also play games from your parents'(or grandparents' depending how old you are) era in that place too.
Entered this contest where you're supposed to draw a picture of a very scary ghost. I drew a picture of the cotton candy machine nearby....scary enough?! Eh-heh~ I am dumb.
Took weird photos in there too. Had to pay like 300yen(or was it 500yen?) to dress up and take photos. Fulin cross-dressed and I went to wear a pair of silly spectacles with my outfit. Damn fun can! However, I think that the Japanese family waiting behind us was seriously wtf-ed by us. Whee~
The guy who was manning the photo booth. Damn cute can! The reason why I wanted to take the photo although it was expensive. Hehe.
Old posters from the past. The long poster is the promotional poster for Yotsuya Kaidan, the movie that I reviewed 2 years ago for school. Didnt know that it was so popular. After exiting the shotengai, we shopped around for a while before returning back to the hotel to rest.
On the way back. I should really stop taking photos of shit. When I was showing my father this photo, he was like "Why you keep taking photos of shit one ar?" -___________________________-
Had cup noodles for dinner. It was seriously delicious can. It was like Tonkotsu tang hoon. Yummy~
The Stitch bag that I bought at the free market. SO cute right? =D
