Alright! After a long
day, we were a little sleepy, but luckily the rain had stopped. We were meeting
our pal Zhang for dinner. He is also on exchange in Japan, but is at a
different university. I demanded we go out for okonomiyaki.
It was so delicious; I
was so excited I took about a million photos.
After we went to find a
bar for a drink. Initially we were going to just find an izakaya, but we
stumbled across a bar in a dark alleyway that looked much more fun.
There was only one other
solitary drinker there, so we made fast friends with him and the bar owner, and decided to stick around for a while.
After a couple of
drinks, the other patron announced he was actually a musician and insisted on
giving an impromptu performance.
This was followed by us
giving a somewhat less impressive performance covering Crowded House, the video
of which has mysteriously disappeared… We decided it was time to move on, so
went out to see Ōsaka by night.
Which naturally led to
taking the worst purikura ever.
Eventually, we were
somehow befriended by some Japanese pilots, who took us to a club. To be
honest, it really wasn’t particularly good, so we didn’t stay so long before
deciding, having been out for twenty hours, it was home time. With one quick
stop.
As the sky got brighter,
we skipped home through a quiet Ōsaka.
The next day we were a
little tired from the twenty-hour day we had spent the day before, so we had a
cruisy morning chatting and wandering. I had a friend’s birthday dinner in
Nagoya that evening, so headed off from Ōsaka after lunch. I was very jealous
of Natalie and Georgie going to Kyoto while I was going to class, but I knew it
would be okay since we would be going to Tokyo the next weekend! Stay tuned!
