Focus Japan :: 19/11/09

We arrived at the Kansai airport, Osaka at around 6 something in the morning Japan time after a blurry (for me) 6-hour journey. It seems taking air sick pills make me drowsy (from what i have learned from Pharmacology, anti-histamines). LOL. and i was sleeping all the way while my brother was playing games all the way. =.="

.the Kansai airport.

.bad hair. bad skin colour. *still want to sleep*

Today we would be spending the whole day at Universal Studios Osaka.

.the entrance to the Universal Studios Japan.

.they have already started the Christmas decoration even though it's only November.

.the Universal Studios globe.

.The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman - The Ride.

.the most awesome ride of all in Universal Studios Japan. It's a 3D ride where you sit in a buggy and it moves around, and there are all sorts of villians like Sandman, the Green Goblin, Venom, Doctor Octopus, etc. etc. and there's Spiderman to save the day. Very exciting, and awesome animation and graphics. Very good!.

.the streets.

.Snoopy and friends.

.the Jaws ride.

.the streets.

.the E.T Adventure showcase. nothing much, and the commentaries were all in Japanese, how to understand?. LOL.

.i remembered watching the movie way back during Form 1, great movie, very touching.

.Sesame Street.

.one of the TV shows i used to watch.

(:

.the huge Christmas tree.

.the Jurassic Park ride. .i regret not going for this ride. .because my baby brother was reluctant to get wet even though you could buy a poncho/raincoat for 300 yen. *grrr*.

.just wanted to take the picture of the snowman and the candy cane man. HAHA!

.Universal Studio globe.

.the Hard Rock cafe and the Hard Rock shop.

.bought a Hard Rock jacket here. (:

After being at the Universal Studio for almost a day, we went to check in our hotel, the Cross Hotel in Osaka and we had our dinner, shabu shabu. Below are the pictures of the streets near the hotel and the restaurant.

.Shin Sai Bashi-Suji signboard.

.the food street.

.the food street.

.behind is the Shin Sai Bashi-Suji shopping street.

.damn lot of people.

.that's the Glico signboard. the brand of the Rocky or Pocky biscuit sticks. (:

.the sumptuous Japanese ramen!. .(pork noodle).

.i still cannot forget the taste.

.the noodle is very Q and springy. .the soup is clear but it's tasteful, makes you want to drink more and eat more!.

.and it costs 600 yen. around RM20 something.

.and it's delicious!. ~yummy!.

.the tako tao shop at the food street.

.the takos do taste quite different from what we have here in Jusco. .i think the difference is in the sauce and they don't have vegetable and mayonnaise in the takos.

.6 tako balls for 380 yen.
