Happy animal. why are you so happy?

I`ve eaten whale. Cried in a restaurant over a fish put out for us to eat ,cut into pieces, but still moving its little mouth (I still ate it). went into osaka centre and found some great vintage/kitsch stores. one called `Thank You Mart` where everything is like 2 pounds 70. learnt some more japanese. I can now say `can I get a woop woop?. I`ve felt so observed. I`m staying in a suburb so there are literally no other westerners. this afternoon we walked past a group of infant school children (in their uniforms, matching hats/socks/bags) one said 'helloooo' in a great english accent! I said hello back and they all giggled. we went to a pet store...

yesterday we went to osaka castle and saw the first of sakura blossom season, most pretty! the weather was so hot. went to the bay area and got prikura photos and went to the kaiyukan aquarium. they have dolphins and a whale shark and some monkeys but my favourites were the sea otters and the jelly fish. Theres constant noise everywhere. each pedestrian crossing in izumiotsu has a different beep. one even plays a full jingle as you cross the street. The toilets here have a fake flush button so you can cover up any noise you think you`re about to make. last night we went up the umeda sky building. its so tall my ears popped. the view up there was amazing though. everything is just amazing. oh and by the way...

so beware!
