No more Fuji.... welcome.. OSAKA!!
Nah, it seems it is really hard to climb fuji now, and seeing as im not an experienced climber, i decided against the idea... in fact i decided against staying in Fuji town any longer...I saw the hill, i went up a little cable car, i got pissed of with the crap crap crap youth hostel i was staying in.. it reminded me of a prison.. (not that ive been to a prison).
So first thing this morning i got up and left...
and i caught the 8:42am train out of there...
then i caught another train to Shinjuku...
then another train to tokyo...
then a shinkansen to shin-osaka...
then a train to osaka...
then the wrong train to somewhere...
then another train to somewhere else...
then a train to whereever i am nowsville..
and here i am...
i arrived at this youth hostel at 4:30pm..
Im in osaka by the way.
Oh.. i mean woooo!!
this is BY FAR THE BEST HOSTEL IVE BEEN TO!!
its next to a soccer stadium that was used in the 2002 world cup!! how cool is that!!!
and they have a kitchen and i made spaghetti bolognase instead of eating rice!! or noodles!! yay!!
And from the small amount of people ive met in this town they are very very friendly.
When i got to a train station and was looking a bit lost, looking at the timetable, a nice young lady came up to me and asked if i needed any help. I told here where i was going and she walked me to the right platform.
Then when i got off the train and was walking to where i thought this hostel was, a man riding a bike on the other side of the road stopped, asked me if i needed any directions, and then walked me to the hostel (in the opposite direction to where he was going).
Well they say osaka nitelife is meant to be crazy, so im gonna go out tonite and see what its like.. :)

Firstly, to Heather: I got my postcard first cause I didn't steal as many cherry ripes from glenns farewell party as you.(i know you didnt actually steal them, but they were in your bag, making you appear the guilty one). That and there are more postcards on Glenns fridge from me than you. :)
And as for Glenny leaving Mt Fuji for Osaka, this is all I have to say:
I doubt hopper king of the grass of Ohio state of your courage.
Translation = I doubt your bravery oh grasshopper king.
"Dear football fan,

Tickets for Angol and some other random country. Occasionally tickets do appear but I get different errors every time. Bloody annoying. I'll keep trying though. Have you been checking Glennman? 3 tickets to anygame!!
Hi Glenn,
If it's the best hostel you've been to why don't you stay a couple of days? Or are there lots more places you're planning on visiting? Dad rang Kerris last night and she's going to pick you up from the airport at Manchester next Mon. H & P are coming to dinner tonight- I suppose I'd better try to tamper with the postcard to make it look like it's addressed to her as well.
Happy travelling,
Love mum XXOO
