Japan Trip 2015 - Day 9: Osaka Castle, Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi

Hellos. After staying up late the night before due to the cock up, had to wake up early to check out of this dog hotel and head for Osaka.


Making sure the jap girls will leak zhup wherever we go before we move out. Our hands were busy handling luggage so the next picture jitao skip till bullet train. IIRC we just bought breakfast at the bullet train station's mcdonalds and convenience store. 


Osaka is about 50km away from Kyoto, so we used our JR pass and took a short 15 min bullet train ride to Osaka.


Surprisingly there were almost no people on the 11am train except for us.

Sorry Ck this got out of hand fast. And yes, that is brock lesnar's body.

Handsome train conductor entering to check our tickets and bowing before he departs

Reached Osaka without much fuss, now to find our hotel which we booked less than 12 hours earlier.

Luggage reparing service by Reagan. Jerked up the handle by 1 inch which meant i could finally pull my luggage like a normal person instead of pushing it around like a trolley. 


Umeda station, the transfer station we used everyday in Osaka


Everyday must walk fucking far cause the different train lines are like 10km apart


Think and 思考 alot but it's only 1 stop away..

Fukushima station. Not to be confused with the place that's full of nuclear radiation, it's just the same name. We weren't that desperate for a place to stay.

Jh calling after his gf

Our last home in Japan. Very convenient as it is located right opposite the mrt station.


Thank you Hotel Hanshin last minute 收留 us


I see you sniping. Waiting to verify our booking and leave our stuff here as it was too early to check in


Yc chilling with his gf


Time to go gaigai! Kl looking swag as fuck


Close up of Reagan's puazui (cold sore) or maybe he got eat abit cb during the trip


Sj and his jap gf had a bicker and didn't talk much on the train platform..  

Walking that long route back to transfer trains.

There are 2 major city centers in Osaka, 1 of them is Namba, and the other is Umeda which is where we are at. Lots of shopping malls and offices. The shiny ass building in the background is the Umeda Sky building which has an open-air observatory.


Reach the red line to take 2 stops to change to green line and take 2 stops 

Jl as usual sneaking out snacks from her bag like doraemon while Reagan goes "again?".


Weirdly named station. There's also a 6-chome station and 9-chome station. Almost 369.


Spotted 2 aunties urinating in public :O


Straight after heading out the station we were hit by a big breeze


Taking a moment to enjoy being slapped by the strong winds cause we can't in SG. Quite shiok

Until really buay tahan go hide behind signboard


Stop waiting for her reply, the bottle of apple juice is warmer than her cold heart.


Step one 拍 mv sibo. The hot drinks from vending machines were awesome to warm our hands with.

Apparently the cold weather can turn all of us a little eccentric


Osaka's museum of history. Seems interesting but we are here for the castle instead.


Some random hut from outta nowhere!


Before conquering the castle, we have to hunt for a proper lunch to fuel those legs.


Missing the leisurely feel of a vacation. Excitement of exploring new places and having the enjoyable company of mse.


Fierce Tan

Magician Tan

What luck! Sj got to take some photos with wwe wrestlers!

Even though we were starving we took time out to pose for act cool pics.

Aaaand right after this busy intersection is our destination


Lunch at Yayoiken for some cheap set lunches

All of the fake food samples looked so good. We spent quite some time deciding what to get.


Someone's 砂煲面 set, complete with a potato croquette. The rice here is self service + free flow.


A warm hearty meal to combat the cold

The fuck is this healthy shit? So many veges and the fried fish so pathetic. Which faggot eat one lai own up.


Now this is a namja meal. Beef sukiyaki set with fried octopus. Yumz. 


Tender beef slices, cabbage, tofu and udon noodles simmered in a sweet mirin broth. Then dip the beef in raw egg to make it even smoother and sweeter. mmmm..


Not bad. Nothing to shout about either. Overall this place is alright. Food is not that impressive but it is definitely very affordable. And with that free flow rice you are guaranteed to have a full tummy with cummies... ok let's not start that.

Hands down the most delicious thing in this restaurant ;)


Walked back to where we came from towards the castle. 吃饱饱要散散步. Little did we know we were going for a fucking walkathon.

One of the many entrances to Osaka castle. A huge park is built around the castle in the middle of modern buildings, kind of like Central Park in NYC.


A huge ass moat to protect the castle from invaders.

Seriously discussing how to attack the castle as if we were zhuge liang  

And here comes our army..


..of xiao didis and xiao meimeis

Accurate representation of Reagan's posture during morning assembly by a tree


If you're visiting, it may be a good idea to rent one of those bikes to get around easily.

Sniping a good bitch on our way to the castle. Got potential wor


Big castle gate with lots of nipples


TOTALLY JUST TAKING PICTURE OF THE SCENERY

Hi sleepy


Jh and Kl caught peeing at the sidewalks


I believe we were actually looking for four leaf clovers


If only you spent as much effort looking for a gf..

Another inner moat now taken over by wild plantation

First time seeing an actual dojo. There was a class going on inside and it was pretty cool


Our 2 brave warriors pking in front of the dojo

对不起,我们都不是警察

A few street stalls here selling sweet corn, sweet potatoes and soft serve ice cream.

As the weather was chilly, it would make perfect sense to go for the soft serve to amplify the cold. Fan jian dogs.

Girl selling the ice cream was buay pai. I swear she saw me giggle and gave me a little bit more cream than others but i could be wrong.


Armed with ice cream, ready to conquer the base


Low quality snipe there. -rep

Look at the delight in the school girls' faces when we arrived. We appreciate the screams and shrills but hope that our fangirls try to contain themselves as we want to enjoy our holiday in peace.


And yet another big ass gate

Climbing up the narrow steps to get a better view of the castle grounds

IF THAT IS NOT PROOF OF GOD AND HEAVEN I DUNNO WHAT IS. CHECKMATE ATHEISTS.

You may die of running before you reach the enemy attacking this big ass castle. Knn fking big.


Sneak peek of the central tower and Jl + Rea

Going into your wedding album?

Jh looking shag as fuck in the cold

An old looking museum beside the main tower with a bonus auntie digging nose


Artistic shot of leaves on the ground. Credits: C.K Lee


Ninja vans selling finger food. We didn't try as it's quite suspicious that there are no customers despite the crowd.

A tree almost as old as Jl


Legs sour so we grabbed a chance to rest whenever we could


Chio bodoh


Ck selfie time


女朋友是没有..


..但是兄弟永远在你身后 (;


O水准是没有..

..但是后面总是会有gang sign


Uncle how old liao still childish poh gang sign bird bird big doesn't mean can immature grow up pls smh

There's a souvenir shop beside selling lots of cool stuff but they are a little bit pricey


Fk ni $15 for this? Made in japan big fuck


Come some traditional chio bu shoe photo


Dat asssss


Sorry can't resist adding in the extra letter

Hen cool got time capsule stored in 1970. Usually time capsule are planned to be opened 100 years later, but this being Japan, the lower capsule is slated to be opened in 6970. That's right, 5000 fucking years. 

In the year 6970 they will be astounded at our tentacle porn and tenga eggs.

Pedo alert! Too young bro.

Kind of weird seeing a preserved building from centuries ago with an inbuilt high tech lift


Ck i know you have been thinking about dropping your standards in women but this is abit over the top

That's more like it. Bu cuo oh


Nothing like roasted sweet potatoes to warm your hands and tummy in winter


REABJ

As dua ki as Jh


Nice of Jl to lend us her used pads to warm our faces.


It's the type of breathtaking view that would give you the expression of awe on your face


Which is definitely NOT demonstrated by Reagan. Simi sai expression lai eh?

Carrying on, Jl nibbling on food as usual 


Climbing up again because there's nothing much to live for..

没有钱, 没有蜜蜂, 没有人爱我

The view from up top



Ck being a voyeur sniping girls at the top of the tower

No wonder no gf keep doing creepy shit like this

For you ladies out there, if you watch closely you can see Yc's zaogeng. Thank me later. Wonder what him and Kl are up to? 

Holy shit this is one of the most retarded looking jump shots I've ever seen

After having enough of the main tower, we continued with our exploration of the park

Jh you have to stop thinking about her, she's probably at a better royal sporting house branch now..


Rip Sj crossing bridge to the other side


High chance there's a corpse hidden inside

Sibei gum pua chio

Rarer spawn rate in Japan than dragonite


There was a choice between this unglam eating photo and another back faced one. The decision was easy.

Saw that there was a plum garden and we thought we would check it out because it would be beautiful and shit

What we pictured it to be..

What we actually got..


Apparently we forgot it was fucking winter and all the leaves had died

Hey at least the spring onions are in bloom

Good bf Rea giving wet wipes to Jl after she helped him with a handy

A serious no nonsense photo because we are all mature adults

But you knew it wouldn't last and all the gang signs would come out. Editing this picture took me a full 4 hours guys.

See you again Osaka castle

Sgt Tan leading us on a cadence run out of this maze of a park

Remember when I mentioned about the other major city center in Osaka? Here we are in Namba, home to the famous Dotonbori shopping district.

Shopping mall with a unique design 


Changes colour too jin cool

来了lor


The bright lights, the food, the girls!

The beauty of urban Japan at night in a single picture

This area was once famed for also being a theatre spot. One of the landmarks is Osaka Shochikuza Theatre.

There was some pretty boy show going on inside and there were throngs of women going in to watch. Wtf there's like kids around 12 years old on the poster.

I have miraculously gained the confidence to start a career as a pretty boy 

Just some of the girls waiting for the show to start


Queuing up for one of Osaka's most famous products: Takoyaki

Taking pictures with floor murals while waiting for our order

10/10 Pokestop material

Isn't this beautiful? Gooey balls of heaven generously stuffed with octopus.

Hands down the best takoyaki of my life. I could replace my testicles with 2 takoballs and have no regrets shooting octopus everytime when i have an orgasm.

Onwards, one of the many shopping streets in this area


If SG has no signboard seafood restaurant, Osaka has the giant moving crab restaurant.

Bridge to Shinsaibashi mall, a long ass covered shopping street that never seems to end

Have you seen a more happening longkang?

And there he is, one of the icons of Osaka. The running glico man.

Many people stopping to take pics with him on the bridge. I even have a t shirt of him that i bought in Bangkok without knowing.


Moving forward looking at our dinner options

Decided to try out another one of Osaka's specialties, okonimiyaki


There weren't many other customers but we figured why not give this place a shot 

Came across 2 parents disappointed with their childish offsprings

Order and wait for the guy to come and cook for us because who don't know shit about cooking okonomiyaki

The cabbage like free one. For those of you who haven't tried it before, it's a japanese pancake with lots of veges, eggs and your choice of meat or seafood.

Dancing bonito flakes on the grill


Then comes the toughest part, waiting for it to cook


Nothing to do while waiting? Snipe yi xia japanese OL


This egg and cheese omelette that the dysfunctional family next to us ordered was delicious


Shuai ge Kai dividing it into 4 pieces cause we too poor to order


On top of the pancake we also ordered yakisoba (japanese fried noodles) which were decent


Finishing off the pancake with a nice sauce glaze. Thanks waiter or we would have eaten the pancake when it was at the stage of the first picture.

Understood nothing but OK


Taste is not bad lah but if add more egg and meat confirm nicer

Continuing our gaigai after dinner smelling like pancakes

Hen gian go ask the group of ladies for their instagram so i can follow die them 

The Kuidaore Ningyo, a robotic drumming clown which is also an icon of Osaka

All sorts of souvenirs with the clown printed on. Honey cakes bought here were quite tasty.

Got vacuumed into an arcade with many kiap kiap machines. You can guess what happens next.

A claw machine full of sex toys inconspicuously placed next to rilakkumas 

Of course Kl had to try and win a tenga egg home

No idea what's that big golden shit but it's home to one of the best value stores I've ever been to.


Er mah gerd it's Ichiran~~ we returned afterwards to have a late dinner but gave up as the queue was too long.

Jap snacks and they are all tax free. Perfect place to get your cheapo souvenirs. 

Best street busker i've ever seen. I'm sure all of us can relate to the emotional lyrics beautifully expressed by him especially during the verse "Aj Pride".  


More shopping and girl watching..


小姐一个人吗?


Making our way back to the covered shopping street 


While we wait for them to finish their shopping..

KL finally had the camera to snipe all the dua neh bus he wanted


I must say he absolutely looked like a rapist while taking these photos


We were never close to completing the whole shopping street. So we gave up and bought a Pablo cheese tart while listening to the store's mindfuck song.

Yes they have a music video for a cheese tart. The chorus is on repeat for the whole fucking day. I can imagine the staff going crazy


Few more snipes from Kl


Smile for the camera :)

Enjoying the cheese tart straight out of the oven this time. So good when it's fresh. Afterwards we went back to the hotel and washed up and someone finally exploded. 

As you know this is Day 9 of our trip and most of us haven't got the chance to unleash. Furthermore there's a porno vending machine right outside our room along with a porn preview channel that lasts 30 seconds. We left him alone in the room to check clear and went for supper at the 24 hour Yoshinoya.


Are you fucking kidding me? This is not the Yoshinoya i grew up with. Where's the shitty vegetables? Where's the flavourless dry beef? Is Osama bin Laden still alive? It is through this bowl of heaven that i realised there are so many unanswered questions in life. 


No better way to end off the day. Although the following morning would be one of the best starts to a day....ever.

- End of Day 9 -
