Osaka,
Japan

So today I ventured into Osaka for the first time. Andy was off work so went with him and his girlfriend. Osaka is cool but it's not as nice a city as the others I have visited! Still good all the same, although as was the case yesterday, the weather was not so good! But it's been improving and apparently tomorrow is going to be glorious sunshine.
Went up the Floating Garden Building, which is quite a strange building to look at but as usual it's impressive. Gives a really good view over the city!
Spent most of the day looking round shops really, and managed to lose a good hour in Yodabashi Camera....quite possibly the biggest electrical store I will ever visit! They sell everything!
We went for lunch, and as a result I have an all new "least favourite Japanese dish" and I am now certain that I won't find anything I like less. Tofu: easily the most bland, tasteless food i've ever eaten! It wasn't exactly cheap either. I just had loads and loads of miso soup and rice. There was one snack in particular, that was full of water, and really wasn't at all pleasant to bite into! I don't think i'll be rushing back for more tofu any time soon.
Had a bit more wandering, then went back. Went to a 100yen sushi bar for tea, was heavenly compared to the tofu! Stuffed my face.
Quite an expensive day today, but i've enjoyed Osaka!
