Osaka, a place where old and new collide. It is a place where the modern life style trumps history and is filled with bright lights, millions of people and American subculture. It is easy to see why urbanisation of Japan is such a large problem. Yes, the food was amazing, the lights and people were special and the attractions were fun. The pace of Osaka was just a little too much, people in too much of a rush trying to get somewhere.
After Osaka it was nice to get back to Takada, where the difference in life was highlighted. The owner of the gas station around the corner had noticed that we had left Takada. The next time I went to fill the car up he asked in English and Japanese how our trip was!
Enjoy.
The lights - Dotombori.
The life - great food (okonomiyaki).
The people - feeling like a big kid at Universal Studios.
