Osaka by bike

Nov 16, 2008 09:01

There was a time when I was in Osaka, I hop in on my bike on wondering around this wonderful city.
it might sound weird though.

at exactly 8 o' clock in the morning, i start riding my bike. My first stop that morning was the museum of science. but on my way there, i found a very interesting place, it was a small park in the middle of this hectic city. so i make a stop there.




so i stop my bike and start wondering around this park. the more i get inside this park, the more i found that this is a very beautiful park i ever seen, since i arrive in Osaka. if i would knew that there was a park like this, perhaps i would go here every weekend.











after i finish wondering around in this park, i continue my journey to science museum, but before that apparently there is also a science museum right beside this park. so i make a brief stop there.



this was only the picture from the outside, i couldnt took any picture on the inside because it was forbidden.
but i can say that the inside is quite fun, there are a lot of science material that we can try out. this place actually is for kids i think... ^_^

then i continue riding my bike to the real science museum, i got a little difficulties on the way there because i wasnt quite get a long with the map i have in my hand on that time.... i got a little kinda lost ... T_T but it doesnt matter after all.

i finally get to my target of the day, the science museum.



when enter this building my expression is like... *what the..* it is so much different with my country's science and technology museum in TMII jakarta. i went to the reception and i found that the price to enter this museum is quite expensive, but i think it is worthed.

Museum : YEN 800

and then i found out that there is also a planetarium on this museum, and today show will be *sea monster* and the *night show*
so i bought 2 tickets for these shows. the entry ticket is also quite pricy... for one show it cost YEN 1,100 but because i was a visitor and i was a student, i got discount.. what a day...

Sea Monster show : YEN 800
Night Show : YEN 800

then i start explore this fantastic place.




i wish i can put on this costume... there was a time in my childhood when i was always wanted to be an astronout.



after i have enough my curiosity on the museum, i started to queque on the sea monster show and night show, but shamely i couldnt took a proper picture on the inside.

i countinue my journey, i went to the museum of art Osaka, it is right in front of the science museum.





i tried to get inside, there were an exhibition from the famous artist, i forgot the name. i couldnt get inside this the ticket is quite pricy.... one entrance is for YEN 1200 *i passed*

since i have more time for the rest of the day, so i decided to continue my journey with my bike, wondering around to the place i have never been.

these are some picture from that journey.















riding a bike around osaka is very tiring believe me, yet it was fun.
then i found another museum, it was a ceramic oriental museum. the entrance cost me YEN 800. so i got in, and it found very beautiful piece of artwork. shamely i couldnt took picture inside.





it is getting late though... so i continue my journey to my last destination to OSAKA JO to see the light festival.

on the way there, i found a unique building.











after a brief stop at this omoshiroi tatemono.... the journey stil continue

before i went to osaka jo, i met my friend from my school in Osaka, we will be going to the light festival together.



my friends here are from Taiwan. they speak Japanese really well. I still ganbarimasu.

so we finally, arrived in Osaka Jo to the light festival.









i am exhausted.....

so i went back to my dorm, and get a sleep... i was arrived at about 11 - 12pm that night... it was TANOSHI KATA.
