work. But what’s a good day to waste? I haven’t really explored Osaka that much during my first visit and as you know I am always pressed for time. So to me, this seems like a good day to see the tourist-famous Glico man which until now is not clear to me why the said spot is so famous. It’s also Christmas season so I can use the day to buy Christmas gifts for my loved ones. hehe.\u003C\/font\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\"p1\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot;; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cfont size=\"2\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/font\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\"p1\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot;; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cfont size=\"2\"\u003ESo when I was done working for the day, I did go back to Osaka and did some shopping. This is the day I truly experienced Osaka especially the bustling streets of Dohtonbori. My first stop was to see the Glico man because although I don’t know what’s special in it, I guess a trip to Osaka is not complete without it. Of course, lots of tourists taking photos. I’m alone so there’s no one to take my photos haha. I decided that I’ll just come back and do some pasalubong shopping first. LOL. So next stop, Don Quijote, or as my tita calls it as \"DonKi\".\u003C\/font\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\"p2\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot;; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cfont size=\"2\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/font\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\"p1\" style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot;; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cfont size=\"2\"\u003EYey for tax-free goods and one-stop-shop for everything you want to bring home, be it chocolates, green tea, skincare, almost everything you look for in Japan is inside DonKi. I am overwhelmed when I enter and saw what’s inside. Everyone is hoarding something as if stocks are gonna run out. So yep, this girl gotta shop. There are dedicated floors for items you want to buy. The one I enjoyed the most? The makeup and skincare floor! haha! You could just leave me there and when you get back, I’d still be there.

I\u003C\/font\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;also went inside GU and I could just get lost at the moment. If I am not just pressed for time and did not have to take the train all the way to my tita's house, I will really take my time and go inside each store. Also, it was winter season so the clothes are mostly made for this season but girllll, if the clothes are for the summer season? I don't even know anymore. haha. I'd probably lose my mind.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;Did loads of window shopping in some other stores and after some shopping, I went back to Glico man and waited for a Filipino to take my photo.

I am carrying a lot of stuff and I didn’t bring my umbrella with me. As for dinner, as they say, Osaka is the culinary mecca of Japan. Street food is uh-may-zing! I tried some legit takoyaki, took photos on the colorful street light, observed people, and just loving everything and thinking how I love Japan even more now. Even the cold weather felt so good at that time. So yep... that’s what I mostly did on Osaka.

I was really thinking of booking a plane ticket to Osaka again but figured that I don’t have the slightest clue yet of my schedule for this year so I set the thought aside for now.

Kind of weird for me but my tita already notified me about this and told me it isn’t the same in all places in Japan.\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-df4cO5fkGpI\/XiO-eEamszI\/AAAAAAAAg2c\/8mxoV4fMrZ0QnIYthcOrbAt0lG7dXk9iACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/177AC155-D0B8-42AB-9008-1FA750FECF2E.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1203\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-df4cO5fkGpI\/XiO-eEamszI\/AAAAAAAAg2c\/8mxoV4fMrZ0QnIYthcOrbAt0lG7dXk9iACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/177AC155-D0B8-42AB-9008-1FA750FECF2E.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-0vQkT1k3MqQ\/XiO-ujIfzSI\/AAAAAAAAg2s\/mWgGbO7mwGo7kSyhni_W8GxL-5Jg1wnkgCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/5378141B-7BE3-4F6A-BB59-0B96C1623D4E.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1283\" data-original-width=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-0vQkT1k3MqQ\/XiO-ujIfzSI\/AAAAAAAAg2s\/mWgGbO7mwGo7kSyhni_W8GxL-5Jg1wnkgCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/5378141B-7BE3-4F6A-BB59-0B96C1623D4E.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-m_8Pw71xbaI\/XiPB31Xg7WI\/AAAAAAAAg6Q\/_OyOPmk-h1EN9BlfaD5OMBzdOw3p5fYQACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/D9F6C2A6-BC17-41CE-BD67-9275D0555EAE.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-m_8Pw71xbaI\/XiPB31Xg7WI\/AAAAAAAAg6Q\/_OyOPmk-h1EN9BlfaD5OMBzdOw3p5fYQACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/D9F6C2A6-BC17-41CE-BD67-9275D0555EAE.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p1\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nThe train system in Japan, while very foolproof, it can get quite confusing too!

So just imagine how happy I was when I first went to Hong Kong Disneyland. I remember I was with my father and I was holding my tears back while watching the fireworks display with a whole new world as the background song. Since then, it made my feelings towards amusement parks so much stronger.

Since I am oh so excited to visit USJ, even though I was tired from skiing, I didn’t let sleep make me late in waking up. For the first time, I actually abide by the call time and woke up at 7am. We arrived around 10:30-ish and there's already a lot people. My cousin Anika has her 1-year pass which was just bought weeks before our visit because she went there with her friends a week before my arrival. Can you imagine? 1-week pass!!! You can see the park all year round, all seasons! I guess it's the reason why it just looks like a normal day for some students as I saw a lot of students in their uniforms as if they just got through class. Lol.

It’s also winter when I went to Japan so I was expecting to really see snow. Unfortunately, it doesn’t snow on my tita’s place. I’m so naive to think that just because it’s winter, it snows.

I managed to sing First Love by Utada Hikaru in Nihonggo when the English version that was selected turned out to be a different song.

The rental costs 4800 yen which covers the kimono and the hair arrangement. Yup, you can choose to just rent a kimono or have your hair arranged too for that added glam. And since I’m already wearing a kimono, why not make my hair suitable for the attire too?! Kimono rental is cheaper in Nara compared to Kyoto. We went inside the shop and my tita did the talking.

There are a LOT of wraps happening. My tita even jokingly told me that I am a lumpiang shanghai now because of all the garments wrapped around me. Well, it’s worn during winter so that’s probably the reason why there are so many layers. I don’t know how a person can wear a kimono alone without any help from someone. Wearing a kimono is an art in itself. I lost count on the layers. Each layer also gets tighter so I can barely breathe normally after the final layer. They also provide small bags to go with your kimono.\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p2\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-8Sn5y91aTD8\/XgWNPLMMayI\/AAAAAAAAgck\/ml7ApEjkT7oyh9KnlXcAGD5wa0lIjZnHwCNcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/Nara%2BPark%2B11.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1079\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-8Sn5y91aTD8\/XgWNPLMMayI\/AAAAAAAAgck\/ml7ApEjkT7oyh9KnlXcAGD5wa0lIjZnHwCNcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/Nara%2BPark%2B11.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nPeople are literally looking at me while wearing the kimono.

The infrastructure is amazing. There’s a coffee on the viewing deck where people could just lounge and wait for the sunset. The entrance was also covered by the Amazing Osaka Pass so you see?
