Sunday I went to Osaka, and went to the top of the Umeda Sky Building, 173 meters high. It was really.... whelming. Meh. Kinda crappy weather, but I ate some udon and took a photo.

Sunday night, I went to Jen's house and she made TACOS!!!! I also picked up some Kirin from the Sunkus that looks like American beer. A lager and pilsener. They tasted pretty good.
Monday I went to Kyoto with Lamika to see a photo exhibit of a friend of a friend. It was difficult to find, and pretty small, but I did get to see Extreme Japanese Hedge Pruning! Lamika and I also saw an event being set up for the Japan Pro Wrestling Federation. We would have gone too, if tickets weren't 10,000¥.After Kyoto, Lamika came back to Kobe with me, and we met up with Jennifer in the MINT Kobe building to eat at a buffet. HOLY COW the next person that visits me is totally going there. I ate 6 plates of Japanese and Western foods, and then about 4 plates of AWESOME desserts. I was about to explode. It was sooooooo worth it! We took Lamika to Daiso, our "Dollar General". It says 100¥ shop, but some things cost more. So it's like everything is 'generally' 100¥. Take a look at the site, let me know what you must have because I can definitely bring it home since it probably won't break the bank ;)
Daiso
Also, if you haven't seen my school's homepage, that's here. My photo will cycle through on the main page if you wait.
Holy crap, we have Daiso in Korea, too! Same "everything's almost the base unit roughly equivalent to a dollar." When my mom came to visit, she found this store and loved it. Bought me a bunch of housewares. Leave it to my mom to find the \1000 store in the giant downtown shopping district. ^^
