Ping had several spots left on a seishun 18 kippu (basically an all day rail pass on the JR, they have five spots, each is good for one day/person), so we went to Kobe and Osaka today. It was very surreal going to Kobe and Osaka on a day trip. That's generally a weekend excursion for me!
So we went to Sanomiya this morning, rocked in about 11:30, and went to Vivre. Stopped in there to take a look at the shops there (Kera, BtSSB, Innocent World, BPN, yaddayadda), and Ping ended up getting REALLY awesome hakama pants, and I got a new tie from BPN. It's red with butterflies. (someday, there will be pictures. Someday. Maybe?) We then went to Animate, I got the new Naruto character data book (OMG I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH, IT IS SUCH AN AWESOME AND FUN READ), and then had lunch at a nice resturant that I need to show Kate. XD
After that, we headed to Mandarake in Umeda where I bought some orange and black arm warmwers (I am the most fashionly confused thing--do I want to be loli or punk? OR WHY NOT BOTH?) and I went to Kinokuniya and got some boooooooks. Currently and reading "The Dead Zone" since it's Stephen King's favorite book that he wrote, so I thought I'd read that. Sadly, there was no copy of 'The Stand' or 'The Firm,' but I did get 'The Pelican Brief' and 'The Green Mile.' Noy my standard fair of fantasy and vampires, but I've been reading 'On Writing' again and I REALLY wanted to read some of the stuff he recommended and talked about. :3
After that, we went to Shinsaibashi, and the SHOPPING CONTINUED. Pure Sound had a tiny dressing room and a skirt that I could not fit and make Ping look pregnant, so we went to Bran X, where she got a six.h sweater/tank combo (that looks like Mint-san designed, lol), and I bought THIS:

MEGAN THAT IS A TAKUYA ANGEL FUROSHIKI. OMFG IT IS AMAZING. I am hanging this on my wall. XD
So after that, we went to gouk, Ping tried on stuff but walked away (the money bled today, it flowed so freely), and then headed to El Pancho for dinner. Then it was a subway, some trains and we were back in Okayama City, taking a taxi back to champ, and we called it a night. More or less. (Pink made tastyness for her students. SUCH A NICE WOMAN, SHE IS)
So now I have one day left on this seishun, and I dunno where to go. So I am gonna look at stuff online, and try and figure it out.
Maybe I'll go to Hiroshima. Or Miyajima.
Or somewhere new?
