Today I went with James and Taylor to Namba and Osaka. We didn`t spend a lot of time in Namba, but I just have to say that changing to different train lines still seems confusing to me. I know I could figure it out with time, but I wasn`t really paying attention, so it was disorienting.
When we arrived in Osaka, we went to see Osaka Castle. I`m afraid for the first little while I was just thinking about food - I hadn`t had lunch yet. I stopped by a little stand and got these little puffed vegetable things to tide me over. After that I enjoyed the parks a lot more. There were these huge ravens everywhere. Those things were seriously huge. They looked more like hawks than ravens.
The castle was pretty cool, and I`m sure I will post pictures later.
My favorite part of today was a group of 小学生-grade school kids in their school uniforms and bright yellow hats. I became an instant celebrity. A little kid named Sho started talking to me, and soon there was a swarm of little kids around me. Sho and another kid even asked if I would sign their hands with a marker. I had them all take a picture with me afterward. That`s another thing to check off of my to do list: have someone ask me for an autograph.
