Sometimes it feels like everything you want to say have to be contained.
You can't just say what you want in your head. If not, you'd definitely offend people.
So, where do all these thoughts go?
Internalize and contain them till you get depression?? Lolol.

Day 1: Wednesday, May 25th
- Went to Pricilla's house the day before, and stayed over for a while before heading to the airport.
- First time having friends sending me off for a trip! \(@ ̄∇ ̄@)/
- Went to check in luggage and collect the overseas wifi router.
- Lost my boarding pass, then found it back afterwards. /insertsprayingemoji
- Reached Tokyo for the first flight, then there was a 2 hour transit before our flight to Osaka.
- Had lunch at the airport!
- Had a bit of a shock as there was alcohol drinks available, lol.
- Reached the apartment at 8+pm?
- Got lost at the stations.
- Dragged luggage through stairs till I died. Luggage was 11.5kg when I checked in. Luggage even fell over at one point in time, lol.
- Had dinner bought from 7-11.
Day 2: Thursday, May 26th
- USJ - day of Harry Potter!!!
- Had meiji milk and melon pan for breakfast bought from 7-11 the day before.
- Their meiji milk was 500ml, instead of the usual 200/250ml. So was very full. LOL.
- Woke up early, as we wanted to be there on time. But we got lost trying to find one line at the stations. Reached slightly later than we thought.
- Went to queue for express tickets first, and got Express 4!
- The theme park opened earlier too, which was awesome.
The queue
Express + our normal pass
- Went for the spiderman ride first (used our Express), and another ride I think it was Back to the Future, then went to Shingeki no Kyojin's attraction.
- SNK was like Shrek's attraction is USS. The seats moved, and water splashed.
- Had lunch at St Louie's. Super awesome pizza!!!!!
- Went to Harry Potter's land next.
- Place was super pretty, and very Hogwarts like.
- The forest that led to Harry Potter even had the music, omg.
- Went to queue for the express for the ride. Guy we asked where to queue for express was a little cute, HAHAHA.
- The Harry Potter 4D ride was super fun???? They gave out bands for my flats so they won't fly out.
- I think the scariest ride in the entire USJ was this. LOL.
- Almost had a 360 degree turn when the dementors were coming after us, lol.
- Went to the normal path to see Harry Potter land, and took lots of pictures + the end was the merchandise shop.
- LM felt dizzy after the 4D ride, so I went to queue for the Hippogriff ride myself. It was quite fast, only a 20 minute wait.
- Drank butterbeer afterwards!
- Went for the Evangelion 4D ride after that. Didn't watch the anime before, so just watched it as it is, haha.
- Went to queue myself at Hollywood Dream. Quite a fun ride!! Wait for singles was about an hour.
- Had dinner at one of the places, but the food was too salty.
- Left without getting on one of the Express rides as it was getting late. (。•́︿•̀。)
- Bought mos burger on the way back. Ordered melon soda, which did not taste anything like melon LOL.
- Basically full-died-me since I kept eating.
Day 3: Friday, May 27th
- Went to Kuromon Market - the market near our apartment.
- There were a lot of tourists there, LOL.
- One of the uncles in one the shops even gave us sweets, haha. For giving him exact change for the purchase maybe??
Tried dango for 100 yen - didn't really like it
Awesome lunch!! Can't remember what this is called
One of the pretty store decos outside one of the shops
- Next was Osaka castle!
- Place was rather big. Walked so much that I didn't want to go inside the castle, lol.
Had ice cream because the heat was too much
- I think I was wearing shorts?? Can't remember, haha.
- Inside there were children asking tourists questions. Where are you from, what do you like about Japan, & what do you like about your own country. Answered this about 3 times LOL.
- One of the groups gave us a paper crane!! So cute.
- Went to pokemon centre + Kitkat chocolatory after that.
- Disappointed with the chocolatory place.
- It was only a small counter that sells premium kitkat stuff. I thought it's going to have a lot of kitkat flavours. Sobs.
2484 yen for one small box of kitkat, equivalent to around S$31.44
- I think I won't spend that kind of money?? Haha.
- Sat a while near the lifts of the mall. LOL.
- Our feet are not meant for so much walking, lolol.
- Meanwhile I had Country Ma'am's cheesecake while we sat down!! The girl was so cute and friendly that I bought 2, haha.
- This is so much better than Pablo's one, that I had days later, lol.
- I think the cream cheese was similar, just that Country Ma'am's one had a layer of chocolate before the cheese tart's base. °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° Price was the same too.
- It was still early so we walked partially at Namba Walk.
- It's basically a stretch of shopping areas from Namba to Nippombashi.
Day 4: Saturday, May 28th
- Day for Kichi Kichi omurice!!
- Had Mister Donut for breakfast bought the night before - tasted a little funny.
- Set off for Kyoto. Thought we needed some special pass, but we could use our ICOCA card as per normal.
Featuring flight of stairs LOL
- First time going out to Kyoto! Streets look so ancient.
- I think the train ride took about an hour
First in the world - alcohol ATM, LOL. Just kidding
- Soon reached Kichi Kichi!!!! Reached there at about 12.05pm
Menu
Since it's been a distance that I went, I had the omelette over fried rice + tea + dessert.
- Nicest food on earth!!! Even the sauce was meatless. So awesome. (●´∀`●)
- Super full after eating it, LOL.
- Saw this Japan duo singing, and the audience were mostly women, HAHA.
The duo - not sure what they are called
Someone gave us this brochure, to promote about them I think!
Bought this super cute looking food as above. But the taste is not nice. LOL.
- Headed to Fushimi Inari after that.
- Wifi connection was lost around that area, probably bc it was around the outskirts.
Point of place I gave up.
Too much stairs, and it wasn't even half of the entire walking trail. OTL.
- After that we went back to Namba, went to continue our Namba Walk shopping trail.
- Went to the Studio Ghilbi shop. Lots of totoro.
Had my first taiyaki in Japan! Didn't like it that much though (๑′°︿°๑)
- Had Ichiran Ramen for dinner, which was pretty cool. Booths were by itself.
- Ticked off onions and pork, so I was left with only noodles. LOLOL.
- Walked around the area and saw the huge billboards.
Famous Glico billboard (that I didn't know was famous)
Is this an ad for a host club? ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Ended our day with Pablo tarts!!
Immediately thought that Country Ma'am's one was better, lol.
The person gave us the wrong order. Wanted cheese and the matcha tart.
Instead we got cheese and chocolate. :(
The receipt showed chocolate though, sadded.
Chocolate one tasted like Country Ma'am's one too, haha.
- Think it was this day that I saw a cute-looking guy?? HAHA. But was too shy to look at him.
- Think he was younger than me too. LOL. He had the kpop-idol feel.
Day 5: Sunday, May 29th
- Another day out of Osaka; we went to Tenryuji temple + bamboo forest.
- The day I wore my 破洞 I had to remove my shoes, HAHAHA.
- There was a temple area, and since the temple area was only at +100yen, we decided to go both.
- Ground at the temple was so cold! It was quite cool.
- Garden was so pretty too.
- I think we only only walked a part of Bamboo forest.
Am going to be forever amazed I actually took this photo LOL
- Helped a Japanese couple to take photo! Saw them putting the phone on the ground, and knowing how it will look like, went up to talk to them, hahaha. They were wearing traditional yukata too. So scenic in the environment. ˉ̞̭(′͈∨‵͈♡)˄̻ ̊
Had lunch at this awesome place
- Shopped around the area then we went back home.
- On the train back, the Japanese lady who sat beside me asked me where I got my pouch from. (What I could intepret from her hand gestures LOL)
- She was talking in Japanese so I couldn't converse with her. (′︿‵。) Couldn't really understand too, sob.
- She even offered me a sweet!! So nice of her.
- Had Cocoichibanya at the area near our apartment.
Corn salad
Mushroom curry - something we don't have here
- Full-died-us. Their normal serving of rice was 300g. I remember it was raining super heavily too, haha.
And yup, this ends my trip at Osaka area!
Shall stop here as of this point. LOL. I think I just typed this for 2 hours.
