Osaka, Kyoto & Nikko!

Since we had a restday on tuesday we went to Tokyo Dome in the evening to hit some balls again in the batting center. After that we went back to Ueno to eat at the ripp-off restaurant Za-Watami. The food was ok, but the table-charge not. And there was a Goukon going on at the table next to us, it was too damn noisy.

We went to Osaka on Wednesday. I liked it. First we visited a shrine which reminded us of the Bellsprout-Temple. But then we heard music not far from the temple, like a festival was going on. I wanted to check it out (because I heard a song from The Band Apart), but the rest wanted to visit some shrine again. But when I heard a song of Anna Tsuchiya I went crazy and ran to the music. When I got there there was indeed a festival going on, but it was organised by the Osaka University Students. So the songs I heard were all from coverbands. I loved it. First there was a band who covered Anna Tsuchiya songs. After that came a band which performed Western songs like Lost Prophets, Linkin Park, System of a Down etc.

Amber etc. went to a shrine after that but me, Ronald and AXT stayed a bit longer. I think I'll try my best to get a collegeship to Osaka University next year. XD

After the festival we went to Ameri-mura (America-town) to wait for the others. After an half an hour wait and no show-up we decided to call them. AXT took his phone out and then he noticed that he got 2 new messages from Amber. They got a delay of 1 hour and a half. We didn't had much time to see Ameri-mura, we only went to the Adidas Store and the Nike Store, where I saw an awesome coat but didn't buy it because I wanted to save my money for the Bape store in Aoyama. XD

On thursday we went to Kyoto once again, because there were still some shrines Amber etc. wanted to see and I wanted to visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine, the famous fox-shrine with 4 km worth of Tori's (the red gates). Because I wanted to have some nice pictures I asked AXT if he could take some pictures of me in my Yukata with his professional camera. I think the outcome is very nice, I haven't seen the pictures yet though. Here is 1 picture I got from him and 1 picture taken from my own camera.



After the Fushimi shrine we went to another shrine which was also very nice. I forgot the name of the shrine though. XD

Today we went to Nikko, a very traditional town in the mountains. It was soooo cold when we got there and it also rained a lot. But the shrine we went to was very nice, too bad I couldn't really enjoy it because I was almost freezing in my T-shirt and short pants. XD

We'll go to a matsuri in Hibiya this evening, so I'm gonna change in my yukata once again. XD

I hope to upload some pics soon!
