Mar. 21st, 2008 08:56 amWe've just had out 7th night here - our first back at the Akasaka Prince (well it's the Akasaka Grand Prince now but there's no noticable difference) - we ate last night at the splendid Vientnamese restaurant we found last time - still well nommy.
Osaka was great - it felt very different to Tokyo - a bit 'cooler' even - although that may have just been the very trendy area we were staying in (Shinsaibashi) I found a Lolita shop and a Goth shop. Money may have changed hands. eek. Osaka was full of win generally - I finally found Blendy (shonky instant coffee I became addicted to last time) in one of the convieniece shops we'd already checked in other cities.
Iain has become addicted to the drumming game (hmm must look up the name from an old lj entry) and him and Neal have thumb blisters. Fools. Julie and I may have a pile of cuddly toys from playing girl games in the arcades. The shame.
Off to tourobomb the huge temple at Asakusa today, have been relatively restrained on the temple/shrine front having recieved a giant dose on Miyajima.
Orange over and out.
