osaka 大阪, kansai.


So I finally went to Japan. Everyone's ultimate travel destination. And I guess it was as expected. Public transportation was excellent, they have latin words written along so it's easy to navigate. The air was so clean, coming from where I'm from I felt like I see things a lot clearer. Everything else were also clean. The locals were friendly to foreigners, or at least weren't as unfriendly as some other places. But the first thing I instantly noticed walking the streets of Osaka was how neat the building contruction is. Even for simple houses the installation was neat, clean, and precise. I'm deeply envious of how the thing we have to work hard for is just common practice here.

We went to Osaka first so we could get to the World Expo on weekday. Because our flights were delayed for couple of hours and the visit to the Expo took a whole day, we practically only had half day and another half day in Osaka. But I wasn't complaining. I didn't plan any itinerary for the trip, I only looked up basic information and several places, mostly eating places, and marked them on google maps. I was happy just to finally be in and experience Japan. We ended up only around Namba and Dotonbori area on our first half day and spent our last half day in Tadao Ando exhibition. It was short but there will alway be another time.
