OSAKA

Ma and I rode on a train for 34 hours. How ridiculous. There was something wrong with the signal apparently because of heavy rain that caused trains to be seriously delayed. As in, we were to arrive at 12:52pm and didn't get in until 11:40pm. 11 hours delayed. BUT, it turned out alright, even though we were suppossed to share the room with 2 other people, no one showed up and the train wasn't full. So we got the compartment to ourselves, place to lay down, and even though we arrived a little later than if we had tried to switch trains in Kanazawa, we didn't have to sit in a tiny seat. 

We also didn't eat lunch or dinner, just snacks. Stupid train didn't have any food. How stupid?

I'll try and make a bigger post later, but I only have the internet for 24 hours, so until 12:30am tomorrow. We'll be going to the Aquarium tomorrow here in Osaka, then to Kobe for the day, then back to Osaka for nightlife. It seriously reminds me of New York - taxis everywhere! Even at midnight it's busy!

And the hotel....Oh my gosh! Ma and I are STUNNEd. They have bellboys and...well, it's just super fancy. And it's a good thing that I understand Japanese, even the little I do, because it helps...a lot. A lot a lot.

I'll write more and post later! Hope everyone is well and if anyone can figure out what was wrong with the trains...because I can't. heh.
