Osaka

I had so much fun in Osaka! We toured the city; roaming through America town; mingling with local college students; and meeting Japanese girls. ha! I also got a chance to buy a new black Yukatta, as well asmeet the Mayor of Suita Osaka.... but, it was not so much fun, when i got lost in the Osaka train system. lol

Himeji/ Kobe

During my personal day, i payed a visited to my friend, Shalom, from Greenville, SC ( he lives in Osaka now); we also went to see the Kobe pier, Kobe China town, and we took a boat ride around Kobe harbor. It's an interesting town, but not as big as i thought it was. hahaha Oh, and we also went to the himejo castle... but, unfortunately, it was being reconstructed, so we didn't actually get ot go inside the castle itself.
