Hmmm... From Saturday till Tuesday

So, what did I do on Saturday?
Oh ya, so realizing this was my last day in Osaka, I decided to head to a different part of Namba. In this area there is a big long street with lots of electronic and appliance shops. There are also a lot of manga anime shops. Unfotunatly there were also a lot of `I don`t want to go in there shops.` So I didn`t go in many. Somehow I ended up in the Tanoij area of town. That is where Osaka tower is. There were  a LOT of sushi bars, which were extremely crowded. I finally managed ot find one that had an open seat and ate some sushi that had tons of wasabi. i had to sit there and scrape of most of it, but the sushi was so good anyways! Before I had left the lady at the hostel had told me that there are a lot of homeless people in that area, she was right! I hadn`t seen that many homeless people my whole time in Japan. I planned on taking lots of pictures of people when I walked but my camera died.
On Sunday it was pretty usual. I went to church. I was a little late though becuase i took the wrong subway. There is only one platform and there are two trains running either direction. I`ve come ot realize that I have a terrible sense of direction, so unless I double check the sign saying which train to take, I will end up on the wrong one. Bothe were about to leave ao I ran and jumped on the one that was nearest barely making it in because the doors were closing. Hm, it was just like in the movies, except that I hopped on the wrong one.
Aftere church I ate lunch at the park and then took a train back to the hostel.
On Monday I was planning to go to my first host families house, but then I noticed that had asked if I wanted to stay at hr house for a few days. So I said yes and changed my plans. Not wantingh to haul my super duper heavy suitcase around, I sent it in the mail to My host families house and just took a day bag.
Today we went back to Namba beuase she wanted to meet a friend who lives on the other side of Japan. Her friend was really funny.
Thats it for now!
