Where is Fish?

Well theres not much here in Osaka to tell the truth..

Well i went out last nite,
The main late nite area is a flashing light crazy super busy people everywhere district of restaurants shops and crazy kids with funny hair.
It is very crazy.
But there were no places to go have a drink.
Like a bar, they were all restaurants.
And it seems everyone was just hanging around and walking around the shops.

Except i found the place where all these breakdancers go and just breakdance.
And i dont mean "ooh look i can do the six-step and a little spin" breakdance.. i mean the BEST BREAKDANCING I HAVE EVER SEEN breakdancing..
I mean forward flips-to-one-hand-stand breakdancing, i mean doing the windmill for half a minute breakdancing, There was one guy, jumping around one one hand, yes, JUMPING in the air, from one hand, and clapping with that same hand, then landing on that same hand. Stiko, you would have been in heaven.. Ive got some of the stuff on video.. Insane.

Well i went for a little sightseeing of Osaka today, (pronounced OOO saka btw) and theres not much here to look at. See osaka is a buisness city, and theres just heaps of buildings and smog.

Oh but i did goto Osaka castle. Its not an english style castle, but it has a HUGE moat around it and big walls. And i would have thought pretty inpenatrable. But not so. It seems some clan/tribe/army burnt the whole thing to the ground years ago, and this is just a re-build.

And i went to this building, which is like two buildings side by side, except the top 2 floors are joined together, making it look like a big archway. and to get to the top you have to ride an escalator between the to buildings, about 40 stories up! Pretty crazy architechture..

Well as much as i like this hostel, ive only a few more days left in japan and still have a few more places to go. Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo for a start. And maybe a couple more in between.
