Ashi ga itai......
Just returned from a (long!!) day-trip to Osaka! (at 10 pm) Yay touristing! Haven't really done anything like that so went all out for it (and this is just the first day of it, although I'm resting tomorrow expecting a packet (Dai-chan releated!!))
And since I was touristy, pictures yay!!! (currently high cause of happiness + exaused body + kotatsu)
First up, Osaka jou (Osaka castle)
Pretty isn't it ^w^ with gold and everything. 8 stories high, kinda hard to tell from this pic...
...and the view from the top. Kinda wierd with a castle in the middle of skyscrapers though...
Next Osaka jou kouen (Osaka castle garden)
Right now the ume trees are blooming, very pretty to look at ^w^
And a close-up. Unlike sakura ume smell really nice~ happiness~
Next stop Tsuutenkaku
The "symbol" of Osaka, for some reason it always shows up in dramas and animes. Went up to the top, but have to say I liked the view from Osaka castle better, but then again they say that if you keep the ticket for going up with you good things will happen to you. Also theres a staty of a god called "Billiken" that makes your wishes come true if you rubb the sole of his feet (did that, worth a try).
Next stop, Nipponbashi Osaka's Akihabara. Spent way to much time there in all the anime shops, but did managed to not buy too much,
Hagaren clear file, Tsubasa shitajiki (don't really know how to translate that in a good way, you have under the paper you're writting on), and a tsubasa gel tray (Sakura-chan was too adorable to resist).
Btw I know have complete Sakura-chan couples shitajiki (well except Mokona, but don't know if that exist)
Most exiting shop was Gundams, only Gundam goods!!! (Not sure if I've made that clear here, but me likes Gundam very much ^w^)
I really wanted to buy some Gunpla, but managed to stop myself (Karin you don't need more luggage than you have right now). But if I could have chosen one, which whould it be. *non gundam fans can just skip to the next text, just otaku talk...* The coolest one in my taste is the gouf (prefer zacks over gundam) the color is so good, but Char's ones are really cool to, the red zack would be nice to have, but then again the hyakushiki is just, gold! But as a Nishikawa Takanori fan Heise Westenfluss' gundam would be such a good one to have, double the emotion >w< ah, I forgot the black gundam, when I first saw it I was just O_O sugoi.....
Aaaaaa!! can't decide!!!!
After that it was of to Nanba, without any real plan it turned into game center hopping. Got this in a ufo catcher;
Ai-kun!!! and natural size~ ok, not that natural size is any big anyway >w< (for people who haven't seen Macross F don't know what I'm saying...... go watch Macross F, it's a good anime!)
Last Osaka stop, Umeda, Yodobashi Camera
Finally bought a DSi!!!! Have wanted one since it came out! Not that it's any differnet from the European version, except (!!) the title page is in Japanese!
First I was thinking about getting a pink one (that color doesn't exist in Europe) but after seeing the real ones, I choose the red one. Later I'm going to go to Bic Camera (Kyoto) and buy a very pretty Hello Kitty DSi case they have there ^w^
Just one thing that worries me, lately I've been thinking about getting a PSP, mostly to be able to play FFVII on it, and when at Yodobashi Camera I saw that they just released a Sakura Pink one...... hoshiku natta yo.......I kinda want it....................................PSP should wait until I get home........
Now I'm gonna watch DVD (rented Ame Talk (very funny tv-show, watch it! My recommendation is the Gundam geinin part ^w^ watch it and you'll start to like Gundam aswell~) and 33pun tantei first ep (so been wanting to rewatch it again, but my hd is full of anime, mostly Z Gundam) and eat carbs way to late and gain even more weight.
Happy, so happy~
