OSAKA in pictures

Shota and I are in Osaka now.... feeling a bit sad because Mattyj was originally supposed to be here to, but we understand things happen... injuries occur... everything hapens for a reason.... So we wish Matt all the best in his recovery and with his suggestions and advice we are still enjoying what this amazing city has to offer.

Oh and the fact we have two "free" passes for Universal Studios, helps!... thanks Matt! J

Below are just a collection of photos... some a little random, some a little weird... but this is the real Japan and we are loving it!

A friend of ours, Tomomi, lives in Kyoto and she caught a train down to Osaka today to spend some time with Shota and I. It was great seeing her and it was wonderful to see that she still has the same enthusiasm for life as she did at the rock (Ayers Rock). Tomomi is seriously always smiling, so it is a pleasure to spend time with her and I look forward to seeing her in Melbourne next year J

Also I thought I better mention that Shota takes all the “good” photographs… I love taking the credit for them, but no, it is he that has photographic talent! I take the self-portraits, the happy snaps… the ones that Shota doesn’t think is worthy of being photographed by the SLR. So we are a little team and it seems to be working nicely.

So (for a change) you don't have to read paragraph after paragraph of my rambling!

Hope they make you smile J

These guys were performing at a park in Osaka.... they're break dancers, but add an eliment of comedy to their routine.... funny stuff!
