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.

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.

Yup, that’s a joke but you get the point. It’s currently January and it should be the coldest month in the Philippines but it feels like summer. Ugh.

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. It doesn’t work that way. My tita and tito Takeshi were so excited I’m going to Japan they really pulled out all the stops to make my stay worthwhile and this includes bringing me to a place where I can see legit snow! Well it’s partly real and partly fake snow so it counts as my first encounter with snow, right? hmmm… right. :) Tell me otherwise. haha!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\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\/-n7Oz4Q_NAQU\/Xg8ucAClmNI\/AAAAAAAAgk8\/ulwXeAZDeaYSXwca_dli0ixehAJrBMZNACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B5.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-n7Oz4Q_NAQU\/Xg8ucAClmNI\/AAAAAAAAgk8\/ulwXeAZDeaYSXwca_dli0ixehAJrBMZNACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B5.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\/-vhEgKm0RcF0\/Xg8uVhHQxqI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/QbnkN-f-YjUgXxB_LUry2i1uA453_GX_ACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B12.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-vhEgKm0RcF0\/Xg8uVhHQxqI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/QbnkN-f-YjUgXxB_LUry2i1uA453_GX_ACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B12.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\/-6qgn7xG3-E4\/Xg8uYYX5UPI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/nGcP-eBc--Emo3Fyue3qH_CHwsG36BziACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B2.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-6qgn7xG3-E4\/Xg8uYYX5UPI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/nGcP-eBc--Emo3Fyue3qH_CHwsG36BziACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B2.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Ch4\u003E\nRokko Snow Park\u003C\/h4\u003E\nThe plan was to wake up at around 8 and leave by 9am to go to Rokko Snow Park in Kobe.

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.

It is like the Chiang Kai Shek Monument in Taiwan where it houses different artifacts and history stuff for everyone to see. It’s like a museum inside with Osaka Castle’s history. Also, if you go to the 8th floor, you will see this amazing view of the autumn colors. It. Is. Just. Freaking. Beautiful.

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?
