Osaka & Himeji
Today I went to 2 places after getting my ass out of Hiroshima. First up was the town of Himeji, where it's castle is said to be the best in the whole of Japan. Spectacular was a better way of describing it. Both the inside plastic bags when we reached the inside of the castle to protect it. The castle is mainly wood from the inside, so if water gets into it, then the life of the castle would be significantly shorter. It was raining none stop today along the whole coast of Japan. So sad...
Anyway if only China would adopt some protection measures, Himeji castle, as a very famous sightseeing spot in Japan, has only a few shops along the way and it is still outside the main castle. They take great efforts in maintaining all these treasures, making sure they are still available to the next generation. All these while making Himeji castle look great but not old. China's famous 万里长城 has lots of vendors along the way, it looks more aged than great. Like the terracotta army has sorta been destroyed due to lack of care. So why Singapore is shifting it's merlion and those 2 merdeka lions all over the place?
Reached Osaka in the afternoon, it's another busy city. Known for it's food and shopping culture, we went to a Japanese restaurant somewhere hidden in the city. It's udon (udon suki) is even a registered trademark. Not so amazing if you know that this shop has been around for 80 years. It's udon is just fantastic.
"Kuidaore" as the Osaka people call it, eat till you drop.... that's the sort of food culture they have here.. ok till tomorrow then, so tired. I really need a good sleep. Off to the Fish market early tomorrow morning to grab some really fresh sushi, till then~!
