Sadly there are no pictures of fish eating my feet..

I'm still working through older LJ flist posts so if you suddenly see a response from me on an older post, that is why. Thank you again for your patience in advance.

In doll news, I totally need to take pictures of my current family, some characters have been re-worked and others sold. I'm considering selling my SD boy F-35 to change the character to another shell, he would come with FCS only wig and zouks, I would be asking $900+US shipping which is much less than it would cost to order a FCS from Sato new. He's on the jointed SD boy body and he has FCS only hands, I want to say the clasped ones.




Our table. I really ought to have gotten more pictures but we were running late. >>; I am determined to be more organized for Tokyo.




I loved how this shrine was just in the middle of a busy trendy shopping area


Namba jinja








This is from the still very much in use Buddhist Temple near Honmachi station. Oddly they had no temple stamps but they were having a service and seemed to have a lot of programs.


Yodobashi Bridge (though isn't that a little repetitive?)




I love that this is a mail box


The Umeda Sky Building










The awesome decorations at the cheap hotel I stayed at in Osaka

On Tuesday, ee970 and I went to lunch at the really good Indian place with akaisakura and then went and hung out a cafe while I drew a circle cut for Haru. We'd totally forgotten the application was due by the 16th in Tokyo and between the fact I tend to feel more comfortable drawing by hand and the fact that I couldn't do one via the computer I found myself drawing a circle cut in a bit of a rush lol It was nice just hanging out and walking around a bit. I am slowly getting some of Osaka geography down so that I don't need to take overpriced Kansai public transportation for walks I can easily do myself and discover when I can just walk from one station and skip the wait and difficulty of transferring to not save time. I so wish I had the Osaka equivalent of the Bilingual Atlas.

Erin and I had wanted to go to a special hot cocoa cafe but it was closed and so tried the place attached to my favorite crepe place. I admit, I think I prefer their crepes and I think their too rich dessert upset my tummy. >>;;;

Wednesday I was pretty much alone in Osaka so decided to do some shopping and to walk around and explore. I mostly just walked up and down Midou-suji dori and went to the large temple near Honmachi and Namba jinja. I walked from Shinsaibashi all the way to Umeda and then went to the Umeda Mandarake. :D I was so proud of myself for finding it after getting a bit lost in the Whity mall and ending up over near the Pokemon Center instead >>; I got lunch at this amazing and cheap Italian place I found semi randomly and had dinner at the vegan place I knew in Shinsaibashi which is waaaaaay more expensive for dinner!

Thanks :D I was sort of surprised with how well they came out since the sun had started to set.
