Osaka - power shopping

It's getting closer to the return. I have so many things I want to take to America; including Tabi socks to sell! :)

Going to Osaka.
These are beer/sake vending machine, and Tabaco machine.


It is time to get back in shape, also... I better check out how much the classes are...
Chacott has classes for adults... I don't have guts to go to back to professional classes with all the people whom I used to know before, so adult classes are just fine for me...



Anyone needs anything?
(their costumes are FANTASTIC! but at least you have to pay $1500)


Oh, I forgot. There is Hard Rock Cafe in funny place in Osaka...


This is under the interstate. There are 3 stories/0.62 miles of underground shopping center and subway underneath... Also, they are all wholesale price!!!


Lunch time! $7 lunch at Vietnam restaurant


Lunch special
I bought an bottle of the seasoning that goes over rice... it is popular things in Japan.
This one was very interesting. shrimp and pineapple flavor... was good!


Shopped for 8 hours... wow
My cousin met me before... and decided to go eat!
There are too many places to go... I would say thousands of restaurants - not exaggerating. Because of that, restaurant hire people to draw customers. They are very aggressive. They will give you coupons, and show you the menus so we will chose the restaurant...
We saw a Spanish restaurant! Tapas!!!


Nice isn't it?



This is the reason we chose this place... $5 for all these tapas and sangria


We ordered Japanese Beef with balsamic sauce
IT WAS FANTASTIC
the drink is Orfo (?spell) Spanish version of Grappa


See, these are all restaurants/bars
Spanish was a little pricey, so decided to go eat Octopus ball! (we shared this)


another place

the proof that octopus balls are national/Osaka food
There are 3 places in the same area
we found another place :)


We finally ate enough... :) and head to home

On the way to the train station, I saw interesting ads. This is very popular in Japan now.
Because there are so many great medical equipments here, people from other country come here to get PET scans and physicals. They stay in great hotels, and receive great services.
