My first glimpse of Osaka is a mass of brownish buildings on a vast piece of flat land... curiously tucked amidst mountainous region and weaving rivers. My 6 hour 25 minute flight to Kansai International Airport was the quietest I ever sat on. There ... Read more >

Dear all, Monday started slowly with breakfast at a small cafe near the station. A traditional Japanese breakfast is expensive and I'm really not a fan of fish for breakfast. So we tried the Japanese attempts at a western breakfast; big thick toast ... Read more >

Dear All, Wow, the blog is back. I can't believe that a whole year has gone by since we arrived home! And it only took us a year to find a new adventure...although a much shorter adventure this time. Mum, Dad, Dan and I are spending 2 weeks in Osaka, ... Read more >

Osaka proved to be the perfect place to relax and collect my thoughts before arriving in China. To say that I was nervous about landing, finding the hotel and learning how to get around would be a understatement. Whilst lying in my cosy hotel bed and ... Read more >

Day One After a week in Tokyo making final arrangements and going through all my equipment I decided it was about time to hit the road. I'd had a great time and hung out with all my all friends again. Saying goodbye to Nana, my girlfriend who had been ... Read more >

Arriving in Japan is like landing on the moon. Seriously. Its got this eerie, clean, perfect Stepford Wives kinda vibe. There is no garbage on the streets, or in the subways. A huge contrast compared to the rest of Southeast Asia. There’s lots of neon ... Read more >

I`ve made it to Japan, I'm in Osaka and it's 5:00 AM. This will be my second day here so I plan to do the tourist thing on foot. The flight wasn't as bad as I had expected though 13 hours from Toronto to Tokyo still isn't that fun. (a note to my parents:... Read more >

I’m sitting here at my computer on the very last night that
I’ll live here in Japan.
It’s such a crazy bitter-sweet feeling. I’ve had so many amazing experiences
here as well as so many wretched stories as well. It has been one wild
rollercoaster ... Read more >

Well, that’s what it says on the front of the English brochure handed to me at Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. Engrish at it’s best.
During Golden Week (Japan’s spring break) one of my friends came over from Nagoya and we decided ... Read more >

So Saturday night – or rather early Sunday morning – a couple of Western friends and I decided to visit a host club. For 3 of us (myself included) this was our first step into the dark and mysterious world of hosting but the last of our group ... Read more >

Sumo season is here in Osaka
and with it comes bustling crowds of people in an already bustling part of a
busy city (Namba). This is probably the strangest time for a foreigner to live
in Osaka because not only are you repeatedly mistaken for ... Read more >

A midnight in a cemetery?! Well, not quite. Rather inside
the bottom basement floor of a smoky dark club. I give you Midnight Necropolis:
the gothic club night that happens once a month here in Osaka. While the name and “theme” changes

My friend and I felt the need for a little bit of culture so
we headed over to the National Museum of Art in Osaka. Leaving Higobashi exit 3 (on the blue
Yotsubashi subway line) we followed a map directly outside the station to the
museum. ... Read more >

The Pirates of the Dotonbori, that is, an Osaka-based improvisation
group who put on shows at various venues throughout the year. Think of a

Bunraku –
boon-rah-coo – or traditional Japanese puppet theater was founded in Osaka in
1684, though apparently established as the form we know today coming about in 1872 (I’m quoting the Wiki here). Bunraku contains the puppeteers (the ... Read more >
