I\u2019m running late because I went to visit my cousin. I\u2019m going to post some pictures and then edit this in the morning.<\/p>\n

Woo, it took even later than I thought because of server certificate errors. Sheesh.<\/p>\n

The breakfast at the Mitsui Garden Hotel Premier Osaka is as fancy as you\u2019d think for a place with a name like that. The price is fancy too but there\u2019s some of anything you\u2019d want. Comparable to the Castle Hotel Fukuyama. Good thing, too, since I was also doing laundry and the washer\/dryer combo takes TWO HOURS to finish.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even breakfast for dessert!<\/p>\n

Today was my shopping day to try to get all the things on my mom and my sister\u2019s wish lists. Who knows, I might find some stuff for myself as well. One of the hardest things to find was my mom\u2019s face cream and I took pictures of some drug stores that I tried. They\u2019re full of Chinese tourists buying lots of drug store things. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s cheaper than China or if they don\u2019t trust Chinese manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Somehow ran into a campaign truck. The election season is just starting here.<\/p>\n

Another drug store.<\/p>\n

I took a break for lunch at the \u201cwired cafe\u201d. I think they used to have LAN cables for your laptops back in the day. Now it\u2019s all wireless. It\u2019s also one of the few places I know where you can get “taco rice\u201d. I got the combo. In the lower left is a \u201cburrito\u201d (a ham and cheese is what it really is) and the fries had sugar on them! It was all tasty, though and spicier than you\u2019d expect in Japan.<\/p>\n

Most of the other pictures I took are just things I was sending to my sister to make sure I was buying the right thing. I ran into people promoting a region just north of here along with their mascot.<\/p>\n

After that I went to my cousin\u2019s for dinner. She had a stack of books for my mom. It\u2019s only about 20 minutes away, I think, but it took a while to get there. First, there was an accident delaying all trains going towards Kobe (I think a suicide) and then there was a fire on the walk to her house. I wasn\u2019t that late (even though google maps confused me) and I had a good time talking to her and another cousin who stopped by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
