shopping in Osaka

My family was busy today, so I went to get famous toe socks to Osaka. Only thing was that my mom's membership to the special store was expired and they didn't let me extend it. So, I couldn't shop there!!! I will make sure I will get some socks before I go back.

There are prenty other places I can go to, so I started walking.
This is Hard Rock Cafe in Osaka. It is in business side of the town. How odd.
