Meet Me Halfway

We realized our Ultimate Expedition of Destiny has reached it's halfway point! It's kind of sad but the rest of the journey has the best parts including Kyoto, where we're leaving tomorrow, Nagoya, with the cosplay world vup or something like it there during our stay, and T O K Y O. Need I say more?

But well, I just decided to have a few laughs on the photos we've taken so far and... found myself wanting to add them here also, so here you go: ENJOY.

Btw, those who're here for SRZ BZNZ; be gone. You should know by now just not to read my shit.


The photo breaking the eyes is A CAT. I was looking over my shoulder and suddenly it popped up from out of nowhere. So I always laugh so hard when I see this pic.

It's and ESCALATOR. In a PARK. Only in Japan.

This was my... temporary system when I had slight problems with my adapter.

We found a RUISLEIPÄ-package somewhere IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE -we were literally halfway up a mountain, some 15 kilometres away from Beppu. So it of course merited a photo.

We boiled eggs there. On a mountain. In steam, coming from a hot spring.

Moomin Cafe! Everything was so cute there but expensive so we only ate something small (=the head of Moomintroll with ice cream :D)

We answered some elementary kids' questions in the Peace Park of Hiroshima and got these as payment n__n (count them and you can see how many groups came to us asking those questions..... It took a while).

J-Hoppers Hiroshima; "I am beer machine. And you?" made us laugh so hard. Also the smaller comments like "I am beer", "almost beer" and "not beer" were enjoyable... 

 

The ugliest fish in the history of ugly fish. LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

 

OUR PILLOWS in Osaka. Lol Im just cracking up with these pictures  myself XD

 

This one was cute, on the roof of Osaka Floating Garden were locks with the names of married couples~

 

Osaka Castle. I was prompted by Mia. Solution:

 

This sign made me laugh in Nara -do you need to be warned that a wild animal might eat your thinks if you give them to it? Obviously, in Japan, you do.

 

Osaka Castle (or rather the park surrounding it) and a HUGE-ASS cicada. It was like the size of my thumb. But fatter.

 This better keep you entertained for a while so you're welcome. I had a laugh so yeah all is fine.

Spa World

Yesterday we went shopping to Dotonbori, and bought SHOES. Okay I bought only one pair but I love them to bits! Mine are the ones on the right, Mia bought two pairs and a handbag WHICH IS PINK inside!

Then, well, we came back to our hotel and ate takoyaki (...again) and started for SPA WORLD! It was made of awesome, just like we had predicted. Omg. I was speechless when entering the spa-area. GO CHECK THE PICTURES ON THE WEBSITE and fall in love and come to Osaka. (We were on the Europe side as it's for women on odd months, for men on even ones and vice versa on the Asian side.)

AND.

On the European side.

THERE WAS AN AREA TITLED "FINLAND" WITH SAUNA AND "LAKE WATER" XDDD

Like, if that's not MADE OF WIN I don't know what is! We were running between the lake and sauna and laughing at directing the distraught locals who went for the low-temperature sauna (probably not even a real one -I think it has to be over 70 degrees to actually be a sauna?) and then were shocked as the water was cold, not that wonderful temperature of 40 degrees celcius.

AND. I have to say this.

It was only 1000yen, which means UNDER 10 EUROS. IN TOTAL.

We're going again tomorrow. End of conversation.

But moving on to today (unless you wish to hear a tribute to Spa World). We went to the park near Osaka Castle and actually hanged out! We were just sitting there with our high-brow AMPM konbini onigiris' and reading manga or whatever. So wonderful *---* It was warm but not too hot and oh yes we so need to do this more.

Today we're still going out to eat somewhere (preferably soon, as I am hungry kthxbye) but we've yet to decide where~

But tomorrow it's day in Spa World and evening in Dotonbori, probably.

A day in our lives

Today was a weird one. We woke up at about ten, showered etc etc and were out of the door by noon. We walked around, got some breakfast/lunch from a supermarket and went to the Peace Park (which is in walking distance!). We were debating whether or not it would be rude to eat there on the benches which had engraved plates with the names of the atomic bomb victims, and ended up walking to another park to eat. Which was a good decision as we had a fun time. Woah.

We were sitting there on the side of a stream on some random stairs, miding our own business when weirdness enveloped us into her bosom. A biker-by was PRESUMABLY singing, although all we heard was "aaaaAAAAAAaaalalaaa" and then she was gone and we heard no more. Few minutes later two men in their twenties came by and sat next to us for a grand total of about 60 seconds, then retreating 50 metres or so, hanging behind us for a while. One of them had obvious difficulty with KEEPING HIS SHIRT ON. After these fine men had returned to their car, which they had conviniently parked pretty much in the middle of the road we realized that a Junior High kid who walked over a bridge next to us did it for about the fifth time. He was just walking around, making these sharp turns (like over 90 degrees, what?) and stopping at random moments, walking to and fro the park we were sitting in. After mulling this over for a few minutes it was overrided by a man in his late thirties, who started to smirk at us and mumble random things on the other side of that small stream. Then he decided to cross said stream by coming down the two-metre-high bank and jumping to a level rock, working his way towards us by jumping from one rock to another. And I can say those rocks were sparsely spread. After arriving to our side of the stream he flashed us a smirk and again mumbled something incomprehendable, then continued on his way TO CLIMB A TREE.

Liek, do u like mudkipz? We had an interesting day.
