So, yesterday I walked to Tenma at around 12:00. I ate at a pretty nice resturant, and the sashimi was amazing!!! It was my first time eating sashimi this tip. OISHII!!!! Then I walked to the Salvation Army office, but it doesn't seem like there is much I could do...So I decided ot go to Namba. Namba is like the Harajuku of Tokyo. Lots of teens, weird clothes and lots of shops. When got out of the station there was this courtyard area with mirrirs and there were kids dancing! Ok, whats with that? I wanted to watch but since there was no one else standing and watching I just kinda walked on.
There is an under ground passage called Namba Walk. Basically it is a mall underground, and you can walk from on section of the city to another, all underground. I got lost a lot but managed with some help to get to the area of town called America Mura, because it has a lot of American clothes shops. I think that Namba is kind of like down town Phoenix. A lot of really neat places, but just be careful you don't walk down the wrong street. So, I basically just walked around, got lost and ended up walking the opposite direction! On my way back into the station, I finally got my courage up and videoed the people dancing. But since nothing terribly exciting had happened that day I forced myself to go one step more and after 5 minutes of mental agony rushed up to three of the boys and practically shouted, "sumimasen! konnichiwa! nande dansu wa koko desuka? " Not exactly proper Japanese, so it took awhile for them to figure out what I was asking. Basically the reason they are dancing there is bacause there is space. they can't dance at home so where else? They said they just taught themselves, by watching videos and stuff. they were 16, 17 and 16. We talked some more and yen they went back to their thing. Oh yah, and I did get their picture!!
Thats about it. I got lost at Osaka station again and my feet are KILLING me!!
