KO - NI - CHI - WAAAAAAH!

i hadn't been home early enough for our paths to cross so when my dad saw me a few days after my trip to Japan, he asked,

have you been swimming?

no, Japan was really hot dad.

oh rite you were in Japan. haha.. you got so burnt.

well er, thanks. 

We didn't do much sight seeing at Osaka but they drove us to a small mall next to the airport with one of this large Ferris wheel on the last day. I imagined wasting time on it but i bet it would have cost me a bomb.


They took us to Lake Biwa Museum where we saw a gazillion fishes and these particular ones kept swimming in a circle making me dizzy. I had a strange urge to go swim round and round with them.....


Later that same day, they took us fishing and i caught around 3 tiny fishes before the sun melted me into the shade. 


For five days, we showered together in the common bath house. Everyone sits side by side while showering and if there isn't enough shower heads, the woman would stand in a line oblivious to each other completely butt naked while they wait their turn.

i know right?

Interesting culture the Japanese have.
