My Nara Experience

Wanderlust March 17, 2019 0

Oh my. Good lord. The deers. I wish I had known the hand signal for them to go away because I was violated ladies and gentlemen. The thing is when you show them treats, they would attack! I mean, sure they have their horns taken off or something but still, it’s kind of traumatic actually. But! I still enjoyed it. Joke’s on me.

How cute is this?

I bought two stacks of the biscuits at two different places. They sell for 150 yen each stack and so yeah.

I actually enjoyed feeding them! Especially those who are just very shy and quiet. Hated when the alphas come because they’re very scary and so entitled! And they come running towards you too! Like, girl, I don’t owe you any snacks!

You know what? I owe myself a snack. So snacks I should get!

I also went to this place where the buddha displays are but I didn’t go in. Maybe I should have though but anyways. I remember having a very little time to comply with all of this so...

For all of you who doesn’t know, Nara is actually a place where there are lots of wild deers waiting for treats I guess. What’s special is that they sort of bow down to you as a sign of greeting so yeah, very interesting! I recommend you drop by and give it a look. That’s all! I would definitely go check this place again if given a chance. Thank you!

Sinsekai Experience

Osaka, you're just stunning. I mean, you're like anime in real life. Okay I know I made it clear that I am not an anime fan but man, whenever I see one, it's always like real life. The places not the people. Although I must say that the Japanese is keeping up. It's scary.

This is the place I went to after Kobe.

Awesome!

Just like what I do in almost every towers I have been to, I try to strategize by going before sunset and seeing both that and the night lights!

So beautiful!

Sunset

The place was awesome. The highest tower was kind of boring but the lower observatory though! That's where the party is at!

Osaka is not a very busy overall but at night it shows all the lights and that reminds you that they may not be loitering and all that but you know, it's alive.

Lights on!

It was worth it! I suggest you go because this place is kind of like Dotonbori but on a diet. Also, more funky I would say. See yah!

Hi, Dotonbori.

Oh my Osaka, you’re definitely sweeter the 3rd time around. I keep telling everyone from my family that if I ever return to Japan, I’ll be returning here. I don’t know. It feels like I belong here you know. I mean, I belong in Harajuku too but you know, I feel like Osaka is where it’s at.

This is my first trip to Osaka that is not work related!! Gracious goodness. As much as I enjoyed working in Osaka, I admit that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did this time.

I ate my heart out!! It was insane! Everything was so delicious! This I got from the place that I went to the first two times.

Glico sign at night. Why not.

I think my favorite time to visit Dotonbori is around 5am. You know, when it's still all empty and untouched. One thing I hate about going around the area that time is seeing the cleaning personnel cleaning up the mess! Like, can we be more civilized, people?

One thing I also like the morning is I can take selfies like this because this place get crowded af at peak hours.

Beautiful

My favorite! I ate them too before and I ate it still. Will definitely eat them again! Why are scallops so delicious?!

Also a place that I have already tried before. GOOD!

Famous ramen shop in Osaka for some reason.

Ramen that is quite famous in Dotonbori street. I don't really recommend. It is basic.

Selfie before heading to Nara. Official goodbye selfie.

The Ramen! So delicious! The shop I got it from claims that the shop is where Osaka ramen started. I mean, okay, fine by me because it taste good enough for other people to copying from them thank you very much.

Osaka V2.0

Fail

Aori Ramen

Boss told me this would be a delicious place to eat ramen but it was just okay. Ichiran level actually.

the crew

It's awesome how you can have a boss around your age. I mean, I don't necessarily hate working with older people but you know, the vibe's definitely different when you're with people who see things somehow closer to how you do. Best of both worlds?

Dotonbori

When we arrived, we only had around an hour to spend before work so you know, we did the touristy stuff like walking around Dotonbori and taking pictures and stuff.

At night though, the big boss arrived and he treated us to Yakiniku!!! It was delish!

delish

No joke! Delicious yakiniku!

Seshika

Homegirl is dragging me with her to Australia. I'm not completely against it by the way. Who knows, right? Brave!

Big boss spent 20,000 plus yen for this specific Big Bang machine but sadly didn't get the prize so whatever. He was asking me to try but you know! Waste of money, if you ask me. Basically the staff kept adding and adding and adding an item to the prize and so yeah.

So you know, as per usual, I didn't have much time so I didn't really go very far from the office and for some reason, it's okay. Hell it would be a lot better if I'd be able to go to USJ already but it's all good! So after that drunk night, I surprisingly woke up at around 4, showered, and I thought I'd go for a walk because unlike my first work trip, I have to work on the second day as well so I don't really have much time unless I make some.

I therefore conclude that Osaka is a lot better without anyone. I mean, it's calm, quiet, and all that.

So you know, I decided to walk, right? There were two different guys who went to me and they were iniviting me to their IZAKAYA whatever and you know I just told them I'm already drunk. One of them let me go quickly but one was pushy. Oh well. He was cute but goodness gracious.
