Well, I didn’t get lost but the places I need to go to are just so damn hard to find. Lol. Plus, admittedly, I didn’t research well enough and that my itinerary for this trip is not as specific as my previous trips. So the plan is to wake up at 7 and leave by 8 but my cousin's bed just won’t let me get up. It’s one of the most comfortable beds I’d slept with. Lol.

Going to the station isn’t that hard because there’s google map so even though I don’t memorize the way, I’ll still arrive. But in cases like going from the bicycle parking to my tita’s house?

There’s this one place I found around Umeda where the food looks really yummy but they don’t have any tables because apparently, it was all to-go food, where you just buy and eat it while walking. It seems like Japanese people are really so busy they have this concept. My only food for the day was 1 bread.\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-a7CwuIXVihg\/XgBeCt25z0I\/AAAAAAAAgbE\/aHv-Si82_xgmRtqUfzwuBbUJmy6HaZalgCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Osaka%2B5.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-a7CwuIXVihg\/XgBeCt25z0I\/AAAAAAAAgbE\/aHv-Si82_xgmRtqUfzwuBbUJmy6HaZalgCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Osaka%2B5.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003ESome of the food I want to try but there's no table\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nI feel like if I still push myself and go ahead with the dohtonbori river cruise, I’ll probably collapse somewhere.
