20/21 Jan 2011, Japan Day 13/14
Whew, finally a break. Checked into the Kobe capsule hotel, took a nice bath in the public bath here, now cooling off in the relaxation room. The reason for us coming to Kobe was for the kobe beef, but thinking about it, spending $300 on a single meal is pretty outrageous. Not that my budget would afford it anyway.. thats all I have left for the remaining few days in Japan. I`ll be skipping this meal.. probably have something else instead.
Anyway, yesterday was day 2 in Osaka. It was a whole day in Shinsaibashi and Den Den Town, so.. shopping spree! Much of it was just window shopping though.. its hard to find stuff I like and stuff that`s cheap, even more so for stuff that I like and is cheap as well. Got a jacket, t-shirt and a shirt set, and a pair of shorts from Casual House (highly recommend this place!). Jacket was discounted from 4000 to 1000, shirt set from 3000 to 1000, and shorts from god-knows-what-price to 100(!) yen. Love overseas clothes shopping sprees. =)
