Osaka tower
Day 8
Well it`s my lasy day in Osaka. Eli and I went up Osaka tower today. Nice views. It was pretty cool as from the tower we could see in the distance Osaka castle that we had been to the day before.
On the t-shirt spotting front, I saw an old Japanese man with the words 'Captain Santa' across his jumper.
We had a pic on a bench and asked an old Japanese lady to take a pic of us. As she was takingit the camera was pointing in the wrong direction. It was funny, we posed anyway and the picture that came out didn't even have us on it.
Then we came across a shop that sold t-shirts with English writing on them. I found some good ones, but Eli found this-
Hilarious! The funniest thing I had seen in ages. Needless to say we bought one each!
It was my last day in Osaka today so we headed back to the stadium and I got my bag. We chatted for a while and I left to get the train to Kyoto. It was so sad! I felt like I was saying bye to one of my best friends! We had so much fun and went to so many places. Eli taught me some Japanese, which I thought I was really good at but Eli said not (still can't pronounce Tsurugoaka - the place name where we stayed) and I taught Eli how to talk with a British accent, which he thought he was good at, but wasn't (in our own heads we sounded perfect!)
Anyways I don't tend to make friends that easily so got a little emotional on my way to the train station on my own.
Got the train to Kyoto and was in the hostel there by 8pm. Found the hostel quite easily (it was right next to the station!). I checked in and they said there was a pub crawl on at 8:30pm so I went along. Didn't drink too much but it was good to meet so many people.

Walked back to the hostel about 1am ish with a girl called Helen, who is from London. We planned to go to a shrine the next day as there is some sort of traditional dancing thing on there at 2pm that I saw advertised on the hostel notice board.Osaka was fab! Now for Kyoto...
